Once the auto incentives are over, the eco-tax disappears

With 31 December, stop to incentives ed ecomassa auto. And also the bonus for the installation of charging systems for vehicle batteries (electric or plug-in hybrid), unless they are towed by 110%. Unless surprises at the last moment in the milleproroghe decree, will be allowed to expire the entire package of measures introduced “on an experimental basis” from 1 March 2019 to 31 December 2021 with the 2019 Budget Law (the 145/2018, paragraphs 1031 to 1047).

The package launched 3 years ago is known as “bonus Malus“, Because it contained both incentives for vehicles considered” ecologically virtuous “(CO2 emissions from zero to 60 grams / kilometer) and disincentives for those with CO2 emissions above 160 g / km (raised to 190 for 2021). With the crisis due to the pandemic , bonuses had been added for “simple” hybrid cars with traditional propulsion or used Euro 6, as long as they emitted no more than 135 g / km.
