In a recent Instagram video, Meloni said previous governments had promised to eliminate the tax, but her administration had taken action to remove it for the vast majority of citizens. She also announced that she would explain the main measures included in the government’s budget plan through a series of short videos. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Giorgia Meloni (@giorgiameloni) Italy’s Car Tax Exemption to Cover Millions of Vehicles The tax, known in Italy as Bollo Auto, is an annual vehicle ownership tax paid by vehicle owners. Under the government’s announcement, the exemption will cover cars with an engine power of up to 80 kilowatts (kW) and motorcycles. The measure is expected to benefit more than 70 per cent of cars currently in circulation, along with motorcycles. According to reports, the exemption will apply to one eligible vehicle per citizen. Italy is also working to strengthen its economic partnerships and energy cooperation with international partners, including Kuwait, as highlighted in the Italy-Kuwait cooperation plan for 2027–2030. The Italian government initially announced the measure in September 2026. Prime Minister Meloni later said the 2027 Budget would make the exemption structural rather than limiting it to a temporary relief measure. Meloni Highlights Benefits for Families and Workers The government has presented the decision as a step towards reducing the tax burden on ordinary citizens, particularly people who depend on cars and motorcycles for daily travel, work and family responsibilities. Meloni has also been in the spotlight for other domestic policy decisions and security measures in Italy, including her response to the violent clashes in Milan. Meloni said the government had chosen to turn part of the resources previously used to address rising fuel costs into a longer-term tax relief measure. In her Instagram post, she also said she would explain other important budget measures and their expected benefits for citizens, families and businesses in the coming days. The announcement forms part of Italy’s wider 2027 budget plan, which includes other proposed changes related to income tax, healthcare, education and housing. The car tax exemption is another development involving Meloni’s government, which has also been active on European issues such as migration policies and border security. The vehicle tax exemption is among the major measures the Meloni government is highlighting as it presents its tax-cutting agenda. However, the benefit is not universal, as eligibility depends on vehicle power and the one-vehicle-per-citizen condition.
