MILAN – The government will abolish car and motorbike tax. This was announced by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
“Today the Government cancels one of the most hated taxes by Italians,” said Meloni before the CDM. The exemption, it is explained by the same sources, also applies to motorcycles, but each citizen will be entitled to only one concession.
The measure concerns all motorcycles and over 70% of cars currently in circulation, approximately 14.5 million vehicles overall. The intervention, it is noted, aims to lighten the tax burden on car or motorbike ownership for a very large audience of Italians.

A draft legislative decree provides for exemption from paying car tax for just one vehicle per natural person in 2027. The measure will lead to lower revenues of 2.7 billion euros, covered by state transfers to the Regions.
