Reimbursement of diesel duties in 2018
The excise tax on fuels is a tax that is applied to consumption and is justified by the fact that fuels pollute, so the revenue is used by the State to deal with all the measures taken to reduce the impact of pollution on the environment. In all non-oil-producing countries, the excise tax is applied more or less on fuel and serves the purpose mentioned above, but in Italy the excise tax on fuels has been justified by several factors, which go beyond the ecological question , but to permanently satisfy the state´s cash requirements.
It is also true that high taxation should serve to discourage more and more the consumption of polluting fuels and therefore use more alternative energy sources, but still the ecological means are few and expensive and, except for unforeseen due to long and laborious experiments, some means ecological should come out in 2019.
While waiting for technology and common sense to take the upper hand, the Fisco allows road hauliers and transport companies to take advantage of the reimbursement of excise duties, submitting a specific request to the Customs and Monopolies Agency, provided that diesel used both for motor vehicles and the applicant company owns trucks or trailers with trailers or semi-trailers of the Euro 3 class and the following class and which have a mass at full load equal to or greater than 7.5 tonnes.
The Customs Agency has published for 2018 a calendar with deadlines, within which to submit the request for reimbursement which amounts to € 0.21418 per liter of diesel.
For the second quarter, the requests are presented from July 1st to July 31st, but for the following period the expiration falls on October 31st.
