The auto tax is one of those much discussed and often considered outdated taxes. It is also called car ownership tax, as the word itself implies, it is always and in any case paid for simple ownership of the car. This applies to cars, vans, quads, and motorcycles from 50cc and up. But you don’t always pay for it. There are actually compounds that are exempt for various and natural reasons. Let’s see the cases together.

However, not only the month of purchase is correct, in fact you can pay the car tax even within the month following registration. More specifically, when the vehicle was registered in the last 10 days of the month. This is a regional tax All are Italian. But how does it work in other countries? In the United States, for example, it does not exist, which is why some people own dozens of cars: just don’t let them move and there’s no expense, and you can choose which one to use if necessary.
