Car incentives, the bonus increases by 50% for those with an income below 30 thousand euros

The Government has decided to make some corrections to the structure of car incentives dedicated to low-polluting cars, welcoming also some of the requests of the trade associations. Therefore, & egrave; the approval of a DPCM has arrived which introduces an extra bonus for vehicle buyers who have an income below 30,000 euros and the possibility; for company & agrave; of rental to be able to access the contributions.

EXTRABONUS

Let's go into the details. The first novelty was already been anticipated a bit long ago. Therefore, all those who have an income of less than 30,000 euros, they will get a 50% increase in the contribution for the purchase of their car. Recall that the original scheme of the incentives provides for a contribution for the purchase of a BEV of 3,000 euros without an old car to be scrapped and of 5,000 euros with scrapping. As for the PHEV models, the incentive is egrave; of 2,000 euros without scrapping and 4,000 euros with scrapping.

Following the introduction of this novelty, the fencing of contributions for people with incomes below 30,000 euro will be the following:

• Purchase of electricity with scrapping: € 7,500
• Purchase of electricity without scrapping: € 4,500
• Plug-in purchase with scrapping: € 6,000
• Plug-in purchase without scrapping: € 3,000

The second important novelty; concerns the possibility; access to incentives for electric cars and Plug-ins also to legal entities that rent cars provided they are keep its ownership; at least for 12 months & quot ;. Until now, the companies & agrave; rent had been excluded. It was a choice that had caused a lot of discussion, so much so that the trade associations had long ago asked the Government for a corrective.

Change that, now, & egrave; finally arrived, allowing to significantly expand the audience of subjects who will be able to exploit the contributions. When will they take effect all these news? The changes to the incentives were introduced through a Prime Ministerial Decree and not through the Aid bis decree. Therefore, hope is; that the technical implementation times are reduced to a minimum since it will serve; a specific ministerial provision.

The first reactions to the new incentive scheme have been positive. UNRAE , for example, above all welcomed the inclusion of companies with satisfaction; of rental.

We wish to thank Minister Giorgetti, the MiSE and the whole Government, for having accepted UNRAE's appeal with an intervention that goes in the right direction for the proper functioning of the eco-bonus. Thanks to this measure it will be guaranteed; finally the full use of the available funds and we will avoid & agrave; a residual at the end of the year of over 300 million euros.

Finally, we remind you that alongside the revision of the incentive rules, the Government has also introduced new contributions for private top-up.
