Like all taxes, the car tax is compulsory to be paid within the established terms. This is what you will face if you skip the appointment.
Tax hated, hated most. But that, like all taxes, you have to pay. We are talking about the car tax. Today we will try to guide you to avoid unpleasant surprises. For example, do you know what happens if you pay your car tax late?
Let’s start by saying that the road tax must be paid by the last day of the month following the registration of the car. This is an annual regional tax that all vehicle owners must pay. Regardless of whether the vehicle is circulating and marching, or not.
Among the parameters that then determine the amount to be paid, the one that has the greatest influence is the one concerning the power in kilowatts (kW) of the vehicle and the environmental class. Basically and to simplify, the more you pollute, the more you pay. For this reason, therefore, older cars, which have a system that pollutes the environment more, are penalized more.
Various useful information can be found on the Automobile Club d’Italia website, although, being a regional tax, we recommend that you also keep an eye on the website of the Region to which you belong.which usually sends a communication a few weeks before the expiration date.
What happens if the car tax is paid late?
Like all taxes, the car tax is compulsory to be paid within the established terms. But what if this tax is paid late or not paid at all? Obviously you must try to remedy the situation by remedying your oversight.
The law still allows the so-called industrious repentancewhich makes it possible to regularize unpaid payments or other tax irregularities and oversights. Obviously, not paying on time comes with a cost.
With a delay of up to 14 days, the penalty is equal to 0.1% of the stamp for each day of delay; between the fifteenth and thirtieth day the penalty is 1.50%; between 30 and 90 days, the amount of the fine rises to 1.67%; beyond the ninetieth day but within one year of delay the penalty is 3.75%.
Be careful though! The car tax must be paid within one year. Once the year has passed, even the parachute of industrious repentance can no longer be activated. The penalty for failure to pay the car tax is 30% of the amount due plus an interest of 0.5% for every six months of delay.
On the other hand, they are serious problems if you exceed three years of delay. In fact, not only is there a risk of the administrative arrest of the vehicle, but also the foreclosure of the current account.
