Gli sconti fiscali sui carburanti erano stati introdotti a marzo dopo l'approvazione del primo decreto legge in seguito alla guerra Usa-Iran. Ora, senza il decreto interministeriale Mase-Mef necessario per utilizzare l'extragettito Iva, le accise sul gasolio tornano ad aumentare.
Le accise sul gasolio rincarano domani di 6,1 centesimi, senza che il meccanismo delle accise mobili compensi la fine dello sconto fiscale applicato fino ad oggi. In Gazzetta Ufficiale non compare infatti il decreto interministeriale Mase-Mef che sarebbe stato necessario per utilizzare l'extragettito Iva per ridurre le accise.
I tagli fiscali sui carburanti scompaiono del tutto per la prima volta da marzo, da quando è stato cioè approvato il primo decreto legge in seguito alla guerra Usa-Iran.

The last tax discount on fuel decided by the Meloni government on 16 September expires at midnight. From tomorrow, Tuesday 6 October, excise duties on diesel will increase by 6.1 cents without compensation through mobile excise duties. Meanwhile, oil companies have adopted a voluntary price cap, with Eni, Ip, Q8 and Tamoil setting maximum prices at the pump for petrol and diesel, adhered to by over 10 thousand distributors according to Mimit.

Tomorrow the excise duties on diesel will increase by 6.1 cents per liter as the interministerial decree necessary to activate the mobile excise duties financed by the VAT extra revenue is missing.

Meanwhile, four large oil groups have applied price caps on fuel, creating tensions with small 'white pump' operators who denounce unfair competition.

In 2024, judges issued over 40,000 eviction orders, 75% for non-payment, while enforcement requests increased by 10% to 81,054 and evictions actually carried out remained stable at 21,337. SoloAffitti reports that 37% of tenants find rents above budget and 74% of owners have credit for unpaid rent. 43% of defaults lead to eviction, 33% to a direct agreement, 17% to spontaneous repayment and 7% to the activation of a guarantee.

According to Codacons, despite recent price drops thanks to discounts and price caps of oil brands, Italians continue to pay 52.1 cents more for diesel compared to the pre-conflict period in Iran. The association is asking oil companies to extend discounts and price caps until the end of the year, given the high levels of oil prices and the persistence of the conflict in the Middle East. Adusbef estimates that high fuel costs have cost Italian motorists over 4.7 billion euros in the last six months.

The G7 has decided on the release of 100 million barrels of oil from strategic reserves, announced by Macron with the support of the USA.

The US has seen its reserves fall by 32% since February. Globally, 400 million barrels have been released since March, of which 260 million have actually been distributed (172 from the USA, 60 from Japan, 12 from South Korea and 35 from the European Union).

Mario Draghi says economic growth is essential to maintaining debt sustainability in Europe, underlining that fiscal policies alone are not enough when growth is weak. It highlights the role of European integration, the independence of the Central Bank and the responsibility of national and European legislators in promoting growth as an objective of the Union. Furthermore, it argues that fiscal consolidation must not rely solely on cuts and taxes, but must be accompanied by structural reforms, the adoption of AI and strengthening the single market to increase productivity and reduce the debt-to-GDP ratio.
