Italian superbollo — the surcharge on high-powered cars

The superbollo is EUR 20 for every kW of power above 185 kW. It falls to 60 % of that amount five years after the car was built, to 30 % after ten years and to 15 % after fifteen, and stops altogether after twenty years; the years are counted from 1 January of the year after the car was built.

Calculation assumptions

  • Applies to cars and to vehicles carrying both passengers and goods (article 23(21) of Decree-Law 98/2011). Power is the vehicle's rating in kW, entered as a whole number.
  • The age reductions of Decree-Law 201/2011 (article 16(15-ter)) run from the date the vehicle was built, which is taken to be the registration date unless shown otherwise; each period starts on 1 January of the following year.
  • The result is the yearly amount for a full tax period, paid on the same dates as the regional car tax.
  • Not covered: the regional car tax itself (bollo auto), penalties and interest for late or missed payment, and tax periods shorter than a year.
