Italy Scraps Road Tax for Most Cars as Election Nears
The one-year exemption would cover all motorbikes and more than 70% of small- and medium-sized cars, the cabinet office said.
- On Wednesday, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni announced the government will abolish the annual road tax for 14.5 million cars and motorbikes in 2027, a move estimated to cost €2.36 billion.
- Meloni's coalition faces mounting pressure from the rising National Future party, while fuel prices driven by the U.S. war against Iran have forced the government to spend €2.8 billion on excise duty cuts.
- Italy's public debt is set to peak at 139% of GDP this year, replacing Greece as the euro zone's most indebted country, while citizens can claim the tax benefit for only one vehicle each.
- Rossano Sasso, a senior aide to National Future leader Roberto Vannacci, dismissed the measure as electoral diversion, stating, "It's like treating pneumonia with a throat lozenge."
- The benefit applies to all motorbikes and more than 70% of small- and medium-sized cars beginning January 2027, as the coalition seeks to regain momentum ahead of next year's election.
