Cars: Council of Ministers votes to abolish road tax for small and medium-sized vehicles, as well as for motorbikes

Meloni: ‘One of the taxes most hated by Italians is being scrapped’

(Il Sole 24 Ore Radiocor) - The Council of Ministers is set to approve the abolition of road tax for small and medium-powered cars, which are largely used by families for daily journeys. This has been reported by sources at Palazzo Chigi. It is specified that the exemption also applies to motorbikes, but each citizen will be entitled to only one such concession. The measure covers all motorbikes and over 70 per cent of cars currently on the road, totalling around 14.5 million vehicles.

The measure aims to reduce the tax burden on car and motorbike ownership for a very large number of Italians.

“Today, the Government is scrapping one of the taxes most hated by Italians,” said Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
