Italy suspends vehicle tax to ease fuel-price burden on 14.5M owners

Italy's government, led by PM Giorgia Meloni, has suspended a vehicle tax for cars, motorcycles, and scooters, affecting roughly 14.5 million vehicles, with each owner eligible for one vehicle (the lowest-powered). The measure responds to high fuel prices, signaling fiscal relief aimed at households. The policy's duration and fiscal cost remain unspecified, and its impact on fuel demand is uncertain.
