The operators of the sharing mobility (car sharing in the lead) they ask the Treasury and Parliament to cut VAT on the sector from 22 to 10%. The provision should be inserted via amendment in the maneuver, now being examined by the Senate. In this way, Assosharing explains in a note, the sector would obtain new resources to use for enlarge fleets (which nationwide have just over 7 vehicles) and extend the offer – now mostly confined to large urban centers – to other areas of the country. Furthermore, the operators continue, part of the money saved with the VAT discount would be invested for increase security, improving technologies and organizing training courses in schools.
“The lowering of VAT would have a very low cost, approx 9,5 million euro – underlines Luigi Licchelli, vice president of Assosharing – it would lay the foundations for greater economic sustainability of all sharing services and would also be a first step in starting to fill what today can be defined as a real 'sharing mobility divides', i.e. the lack of shared vehicles and services in some areas of the country, especially in medium-sized centers and in the centre-south”.
According to the National Sharing Mobility Observatory, today only 22% of the Italian population it is served by at least one shared mobility service.
