L’abolizione del bollo dopo trent’anni di ingiusta guerra all’automobile

The Meloni government plans to abolish the car tax, known as the bollo, starting in 2027. The administration describes the move as removing one of the most disliked taxes. While the tax is officially categorized as a tax on property, the report notes it has functioned as a circulation tax since 1983.

The decision has drawn mixed reactions from political leaders and regional authorities. Opposition figures, including Renzi and Tridico, have criticized the timing of the measure, suggesting it is an electoral move. Meanwhile, regional governments have expressed concern or irritation because the tax provided direct revenue to their budgets. These regions now face the need for the central government to provide compensation for the lost funds both next year and in the future.
