Exemption from Vehicle Registration Tax in Italy

The exemption, whether total, partial, or temporary, from the vehicle registration tax (bollo auto) applies to various categories of vehicles, depending on regional policies and regulations.

Often considered one of the most hated taxes by Italian drivers, the bollo auto is mandatory for anyone who owns a registered vehicle in Italy.
However, some categories of vehicle owners are exempt from payment.

Electric and Hybrid Vehicles

Electric and hybrid vehicles are among those eligible for exemption from this tax.
These environmentally friendly cars, due to their low emissions, are incentivized by the state through various tax benefits, including exemption from the bollo auto.

For electric vehicles, the exemption period varies based on the region of registration.
In many Italian regions, electric vehicles are exempt from the tax for the first five years following registration, after which a reduced tax rate applies.

Hybrid vehicles, which combine a traditional combustion engine with an electric motor, may also enjoy temporary exemptions or reductions based on regional laws.

Regional Exemption Rules

Here are the rules for exemption from the bollo auto for electric and hybrid vehicles across different regions:

• Abruzzo: 5 years exemption for electric vehicles; thereafter, a reduced tax at 25% for corresponding petrol vehicles.
• Basilicata: 5 years exemption for electric and hybrid vehicles, after which full tax for hybrids and 25% for electric.
• Calabria: 5 years exemption for electric vehicles and no incentives for hybrids.
• Campania: Same as Calabria, with temporary exemption for hybrids.
• Emilia Romagna: Total exemption for the first 5 years for electric; hybrids have a maximum annual contribution of €191 for three years.

Further detailed information on regional policies can be found through local government resources.

Classic Cars

Classic cars, which are over 30 years old, qualify for a special exemption from the bollo auto.
These vehicles, considered collectibles, do not require annual payment, provided they are used limitatively for events.

Vehicles for Social Purposes

Vehicles registered under NGOs, volunteer organizations, and charities that serve social purposes are exempt from this tax as well.
This exemption highlights the state’s support for social services.

Disability Exemption

Individuals with disabilities may benefit from bollo auto exemptions under Italian Law 104/1992.
This applies to those with severe physical or mental disabilities verified by appropriate medical commissions.

To obtain this exemption, one must submit relevant documentation, ensuring the vehicle is registered either to the disabled person or a family member.
The eligibility is limited to one vehicle per household and specific engine capacity restrictions apply.
