- The EU Council has extended the 60% non-deductibility of VAT on motor vehicles in Italy until December 31, 2028.
- The general rule allows only 40% VAT deduction on motor vehicles, regardless of fuel type, including electric cars; electric bikes are exempt from this limitation.
- The limitation applies to all road motor vehicles (excluding agricultural/forestry tractors) under 3.5 tons and with up to 8 passenger seats (excluding the driver).
- Motorcycles for private use with engines over 350cc are totally non-deductible for VAT.
- Full VAT deduction is possible only if the vehicle falls outside the listed categories and strict proof of business relevance (inerenza) is provided.
