Owning a 30-year-old car does not automatically mean exemption from payment of the Single Circulation Tax (IUC). Although there are tax exemptions or reductions for classic or collector vehicles, these are subject to specific conditions that go beyond the simple age of the vehicle, such as the state of conservation, assignment to specific purposes, or registration in proper registries. Therefore, owners of older vehicles should carefully check the applicable legal criteria before assuming they are exempt from this tax.
