What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

The Italian government approved a tax suspension on vehicle ownership as part of its response to rising fuel prices. The Council of Ministers formally approved the exemption for 2027 for small and medium-power cars up to 80 kW, as well as all motorcycles. This measure, which affects approximately 14.5 million vehicles, allows owners to benefit from the tax relief for one year, though the specific benefit is only available once per citizen.
