- The EU has extended Italy’s 40% flat-rate VAT deduction limit on cars until December 31, 2028.
- This extension confirms the exception to the general EU rule of full VAT deduction for business vehicles.
- The 40% deduction applies to vehicles not used exclusively for business or professional activities; 100% deduction is allowed only for exclusive business use.
- The rule covers VAT on vehicle purchase, fuel, lubricants, and related services, but excludes vehicles used as the main business activity and certain commercial agents.
- The VAT deduction rules differ from those for direct taxes and are not based on vehicle classification under the Italian Highway Code.
