Goodbye car tax? Here’s how it really goes

car tax Deleted? of course not. Recently, the false news about the abolition of the 2021 auto tax on October 31 spread, causing not a bit of confusion among car owners. In fact, this is not the case at all, it is simply a process of extracting revenue by the agency in respect of those unpaid stamps that fall in the period 2000-2010. The deadline for tax authorities to act in this regard is October 31.

Thus, the news of the cancellation of the 2021 auto stamps is completely wrong, even if some Internet sites indicated the entry into force of this provision. To make such a solution possible, the government had to quickly enact a new law to obtain Regions, which enjoys independence in this matter.

Regional autonomy allows, among other things, a reduction or exemption from the car tax, certainly not abolition. If we take the Lombardy region as an example, then there is a discount of 15% of the amount due to citizens who pay the tax at the headquarters of the Bank. While the total exemption from paying stamp duty is guaranteed to those who buy an electric car or a car powered by LPG or methane.

What is true then? in a executive decreeAs Corriere also recalls, Sostegni bis on July 22, 2021 granted the possibility of settling debts contracted with the state from 2000 to 2010 in the amount of 5 thousand euros. A letter also applies to unpaid auto stamps. Individuals and companies who declared in 2020 an income of up to 30 thousand euros in total per year in 2019 can benefit from this solution. In accordance with the provisions of the decree, the revenue collection agency will provide excerpt of folders independently until October 31, 2021. No application will be sent to the taxpayer.

The 2021 amnesty refers to those files received by the revenue collection agency in the period between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2010. Thus, they must be taken into account, the year in which the registration in the tax invoice is made. By accessing the Personal Area on the Revenue Agency’s website using a digital ID and PIN provided by the organization, it is by no means possible to verify a person’s location.
