Fuel bill, approved by the Chamber: the text also includes a stop to car tax for 2027

First approval for the fuel decree of 17 September: that is, the one which above all introduced the stop to car tax. The Chamber approved with 127 votes in favour, 38 against and 49 abstentions the decree which cut excise duties on diesel fuel from 18 to 25 September. The text now passes to the Senate, which must convert it into law by November 16th.

As mentioned, the heart of the provision is the exemption from car tax. It should be remembered, obviously, that in the meantime the 2027 budget bill, approved by the Council of Ministers on 28 October, made the stop to stamp duty structural which the September decree limited to payments expiring between 1 January and 31 December 2027.

The exemption is available to natural persons for a single regularly insured vehicle: a petrol or diesel car, even hybrid, up to 80 kW or, for those who do not own one, a motorbike or moped. With more eligible cars, the less powerful one counts. For 2027 the lower regional revenue is estimated at 2,362 million, compensated with transfers of 2,293.5 million; once fully operational, from 2030, the budget report estimates it at 2.43 billion per year.

During the parliamentary examination the amendments to raise the power threshold were withdrawn. The enlargement came with the maneuver, for a limited audience: families with more than three children, of which at least one is a minor, receive an INPS contribution equal to the tax paid, up to 385.71 euros per year, for a car with six to nine seats up to 133 kW. The technical report estimates 47,553 nuclei and a cost of 18.3 million per year.

The converted decree also contains other measures. 150 million goes to the Milano-Cortina 2026 Foundation to balance the budget, after a 2025 loss of 39.1 million and a negative net worth of 176.5 million.
