The new eco-bonuses for cars, motorbikes and commercial vehicles start. After an exhausting wait, the Prime Ministerial Decree (Decree of the President of the Council of Ministers) which reshapes the previous incentives, barring last-minute unforeseen events, will be published in the Official Journal on 25 May.
The Prime Ministerial Decree provides that, starting from its entry into force, and until 31 December 2024, the contributions are revised upwards up to a maximum of 13,500 euros in the case of electric cars if the buyer has an ISEE of less than 30 thousand euros . In essence, purchases, including through leasing, made starting from the day of publication in the Gazette, may then be included among those that the concessionaires will upload to the IT booking platform which is managed by Invitalia, an in-house company of the Ministry of Business and Industry. made in Italy. The platform is still being implemented, but the ministry plans to make it operational on June 3.
From that day, dealers will have to enter the data relating to the purchase order of the vehicle, including the indication of the deposit paid, obtaining, according to the availability of resources, a booking registration receipt. The dealer recognizes the contribution to the buyer as a discount and is then reimbursed by the dealer or importer. The latter will recover the sum as a tax credit. In all, the Prime Ministerial Decree puts 950 million into circulation for the various incentives provided.
Car contributions
In the absence of scrapping, for cars there is a contribution of 6 thousand euros in the 0-20 range, 4 thousand in the 21-60 range while there is no bonus in the third emissions category. The amount increases progressively if it is scrapped, based on how old and therefore polluting the vehicle is. By scrapping a Euro 4 you will be able to benefit from 9 thousand euros in the 0-20 range, 5,500 in the 21-60 range and 1,500 in the 61-135 range. With a Euro 3 you go to 10 thousand euros, 6 thousand and 2 thousand euros. With a Euro 0, 1 or 2 there is a jump, respectively, to 11 thousand euros, 8 thousand and 3 thousand euros. For all these incentives there is a maximum price threshold for the model that can be purchased, excluding VAT, set at 35 thousand euros in the emission bands 0-20 and 61-135 and at 45 thousand euros in the intermediate 21-60 band. In the case of the first two emission bands, the 25% increase is applied for individual members of a family unit with ISEE under 30 thousand euros, therefore reaching up to 13,500 euros for electric cars. For low incomes there is also the possibility of accessing by scrapping a Euro 5 and in this case the bonus is 8 thousand euros in the 0-20 range and 5 thousand in the 21-60 range. Used cars are also supported, Euro 6 with emissions of up to 160g/km of CO2 and a price of up to 25 thousand euros: the incentive to purchase them is 2 thousand euros by scrapping a vehicle from Euro 0 to Euro 4.
Motorcycles, vans, rental
For motorbikes, scooters, tricycles and electric quadricycles the contribution is 30% up to 3 thousand euros. It goes to 40% (up to 4 thousand euros) with scrapping of a vehicle from Euro 0 to Euro 3. For non-electric models, up to Euro 5, a discount of 40% up to 2,500 euros but only on condition that the seller practices an additional reduction of at least 5% and that a vehicle from Euro 0 to Euro 3 is scrapped. For commercial vehicles the bonus grid is more complex, taking into account fuel supply, total mass on the ground and the presence or absence of a vehicle to be scrapped. They range from a minimum of one thousand euros (under 1.5 tons, internal combustion engine with scrapping) to a maximum of 18 thousand euros (between 4.25 and 7.2 tons, electric or hydrogen with scrapping). This category of incentives, like that of cars, is open to both natural persons and legal entities.
