AI-generated summary
Why It Matters
The scrapping of car tax is a form of facilitated settlement of tax debts linked to vehicle ownership tax. The deadline for the regions to join was set at 31 July 2026. Only the regions that have approved membership by that date can allow their residents to access the amnesty.
As various sites report, from a monitoring of the situation after 31 July 2026 (the date which represented the deadline for membership), it was these regions that said yes to the facilitated definition:
Campania;
Lazio;
Basilicata;
Puglia;
Umbria.
Specifically, it should be remembered that each Region had to approve membership by 31 July 2026. Those who have not done so cannot therefore join this form of scrapping.

In any case, before submitting the application, it is necessary to check whether your debt falls within the scope of the amnesty. You can do this by accessing the reserved area of the Revenue Agency portal with SPID, CIE or CNS to consult the debt statement. It must also be verified that the deed notified to you refers to loads entrusted to collection between 2000 and 2023. You can also consult the official channels of your Region of residence to ascertain any resolutions on taxes managed in direct assessment without AdER role.
The car tax, managed by the Automobile Club of Italy (Aci) in collaboration with all the Regions and the autonomous provinces of Trento and Bolzano, is an annual tax on car ownership. All individuals who own a vehicle registered in the Public Automotive Registry (PRA) are required to pay. The tax can be paid at any authorized collection point, but only the Region of residence and the Revenue Agency can verify the regularity of payments. From 1 January 2020 payments will take place through the PagoPA platform.
The amount of the tax essentially depends on two parameters: the emission standard of the vehicle and the engine power (expressed in kilowatts), both indicated on the registration document. However, variations based on the region of residence must be considered.
At a national level, electric vehicles enjoy a car tax exemption for five years from registration. Beyond this limit, a reduced payment of 75% is expected. However, the discounts may vary on a regional basis.
Specific categories of owners are excluded from paying the tax: blind, deaf, mentally handicapped or holders of an accompanying allowance. The list also includes people with disabilities, with serious limitations in walking ability, suffering from multiple amputations and with reduced or impaired motor skills. Based on this criterion, pursuant to Law 104, there are exemptions for:
cars for the transport of people with disabilities;
cars owned by people with disabilities who have exemption from the Revenue Agency and Aci.
Open Questions
- What are the precise methods for calculating the discount for the subsidized definition?
- Will there be extensions for regions that have not joined by 31 July 2026?
