Manoeuvre: on company cars, the government moves towards stopping the safeguard clause

The safeguard clause devised by the government on cars given to employees for mixed use stops at the last mile. Blocking the idea to exclude cars ordered in 2024 but delivered to employees in 2025 from the mileage sting would have been rejected by the Ragioneria on the grounds of excessive burden. Blocking the correction to be included in the budget law would have been the lack of coverage of EUR 8 million.

The last attempt to avoid excessive penalisation of those who chose the car before the government's decision to tighten its grip on environmentally harmful subsidies by making the cost of cars granted to employees with thermal and hybrid-powered engines more onerous, is now entrusted to a sub-amendment to the government's corrective measures under the first signature of Cannata of Fratelli d'Italia. A hypothesis on which, in any case, the Budget Committee will decide in the night between Monday 16 and Tuesday 17 December and which, however, starts with the great handicap of a contrary opinion from the Mef.

It fully reproduces the corrective measure initially envisaged by the Executive itself, providing that the current regulation of the cost per kilometre for cars granted to employees for mixed use in the "text in force on 31 December 2024, for vehicles granted for mixed use from 1 July 2020 to 31 December 2024as well as for vehicles ordered by employers before 31 December 2024 and granted for mixed use from 1 January 2025 to 30 June 2025.
