Meloni scraps Italy's road tax for cars and motorcycles

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has announced the abolition of Italy's road tax (bollo auto) for cars and motorcycles, starting in 2027. She stated that the measure will be permanent, not limited to 2027, and cited rising fuel prices as a reason. The tax break is expected to affect millions of vehicle owners. Meloni also contacted opposition leader Elly Schlein about an energy pact, though the move sparked controversy within the broad coalition.
