[quote=Sprostoni;107980]I am getting confusing messages regarding the tax on my Italian car that I bought new last year.............I think that I am supposed to tax it every January, [B][U]is this correct[/U][/B] even though I bought it new in June?
In the UK you normally Tax it on the anniversary of it's purchase (June).....[/quote]
No - I registered mine in August and pay my annual road tax (on line) every August... So you would pay in June.
If you enter your car details here >[B][URL="http://online.aci.it/acinet/calcolobollo/index.asp#inizio-pagina"]ACI Calcola il bollo[/URL][/B] in the box on the left (the other one is for residents in Lombardia). You will only need your registration, the other two items are right for a renewal of a car... then press CALCOLA and it [I]should[/I] give you details of your current tax etc...
[B]It tells you THIS;[/B]
il pagamento della tassa automobilistica può essere effettuato solo a partire dal 1° giorno del mese successivo a quello di scadenza dell'ultimo bollo pagato. Per questo motivo il servizio da noi offerto calcola l'importo dovuto solo a partire da tale giorno.
Esempio: il calcolo del bollo con scadenza agosto 2008 può essere effettuato solo dal 1° settembre 2008.
[COLOR=Red][I]The payment of car tax can be made from the 1st day of the month following that in which the current tax runs out. For this reason the service we offer will only calculate tax due from that day.
Example: Calculation of tax that runs out 31st August can only be made from 1st September.[/I][/COLOR]
Hope this helps.

If you bought your car new in June, the tax (which I hope you paid when you bought it - the garage won't have done this for you) will run out at the end of April, and you should pay it before the end of May. The thing is, there are only three times a year when you can pay Italian car tax - in January (expiration end of December), in May (expiration end of April), and in September (expiration end of August). Always keep your receipts.

Great thanks to all.................this Forum is GOOD!!!
If in doubt I just shout it out and.........................lots of answers and suggestions...........wonderful!!
Thanks again :smile::bigergrin::smile:
The renewal date will appear on the certificate you received when you last taxed it. DO NOT pay before it has actually run out as if you do the system does not realise that you are being organised and paying in advance! It will assume you are paying for the same year again (and will charge you more as it would include the fine for late payment!!!)
(Television licence fees are due in January regardless of time of purchase)
