Mașina n-ar trebui să fie lux. Impozitul auto, eliminat în țara UE unde trăiesc foarte mulți români • Newsweek România

Italy has decided to eliminate the car tax for vehicles up to 109 horsepower starting in 2027, benefiting many citizens, including a large Romanian community. This measure aims to ease the financial burden on daily commuters and is expected to cover over 70% of vehicles on the road. The government will compensate regions for lost revenue with €2.3 billion. However, some regional leaders criticize the decision as electoral demagoguery, questioning the adequacy of the proposed compensations. The car tax, a long-standing levy in Italy, was first introduced in 1953 and has evolved over the decades.
