Italy’s government led by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni moves to scrap road tax for millions of drivers, according to reports.

The proposals are presented as part of broader efforts to ease costs for motorists. Multiple accounts link the measure to the government’s need to maintain or grow public support in the run-up to elections scheduled for 2027. The reporting focuses on the expected impact on a large portion of drivers, but does not provide detailed eligibility rules, timelines for implementation, or the budgetary cost in the materials provided.

Overall, the outlets agree on the core policy direction—ending the road tax for a wide group of Italian drivers—and on the political timing tied to the 2027 national election. Differences are limited to wording and emphasis, with both describing the policy as a support-boosting measure.
