CAR TAX, MODELS UP TO 80 KW EXEMPTED

The government has suspended the tax for cars and mopeds with power up to 80 kW for 2027. The promise is to make the measure structural when the coverage of the next maneuver arrives. “While others talk about property, we are abolishing the most hated of property taxes,” the prime minister rejoiced. How much is the stamp duty worth to the public coffers? This was also discussed in the episode of Numeri, an in-depth analysis by Sky TG24, on 16 September.

THE CAR TAX IS WORTH 7.5 BILLION EUROS

According to the most recent estimates, the stamp duty earns the State a total of 7.5 billion euros per year, which is then used by the various Regions for their own expenses.

THE STAMP IS THE THIRD STATE CAPITAL FOR COLLECTIONS

The stamp duty, introduced in the 1950s to finance motorways, as Meloni says, is now to all intents and purposes a capital tax, with a significant impact: with its 7.5 billion per year it is the third tax of this type, after the IMU (16.9 billion) and stamp duties (8.8 billion), according to data from the Ministry of Economy and Finance.

STILL VALID FOR 30% OF CARS

The exemption provided by the government, as mentioned, covers models with power up to 80 kW. For a country like Italy, made up mainly of city cars and small cars, the suspension is not of little importance: it will affect approximately 14 and a half million cars, i.e. 70% of our car fleet. The remaining 30% will continue to pay the tax as done so far.

THE VALUE OF CAR TAX IN 2027

However, the State will lose a relatively small part of tax revenue: estimates speak of 2.3-2.4 billion euros. The cars that continue to pay the tax - more consistently, because above 80 kW - will pay, as already now, around 5 billion euros.

DISCOUNT ON DIESEL EXCISE DUTY EXTENDED

Still on the engine front, in the same Council of Ministers that intervened on the tax, the government extended once again (the sixteenth since March) the cut in excise duties on diesel. Also counting VAT, from the 17 cents discount per liter applied until today, 17 September, it will go to 12.2 cents until 25 September and then will be halved to 6.1 cents from 5 October. After that date the mobile excise duty mechanism will apply. Its impact is yet to be quantified.
