Italy to Scrap Road Tax for Most Vehicles from 2027

Italy will abolish its annual vehicle tax, the auto bollo, from 2027, according to The Local Italy, which reported that the owners of about 70 percent of vehicles on the country's roads would no longer pay it. A second report from the same outlet examined who would be eligible and how a driver might claim the exemption.

The measure, reported on Thursday and followed up on Friday, would remove a recurring charge that Italian households and small businesses have paid annually on their vehicles. The foreign coverage does not state the fiscal cost of the exemption or how the lost revenue would be replaced.
