High fuel prices: Italy and France react to rising fuel prices
Italy wants to relieve millions of motorists of the high fuel costs and is suspending the vehicle tax for certain vehicles from 2027. France is extending its fuel subsidies for certain sectors.
Italy's government, led by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, has decided to waive vehicle tax for a year on cars with an output of less than 80 kilowatts, as well as on motorbikes and scooters. The exemption, which applies to around 14.5 million vehicles, is intended to provide financial relief to families. Only one vehicle per owner is eligible, and the relief will automatically apply to the vehicle with the lowest output. The move is part of a series of tax cuts, according to Meloni's right-wing coalition.
