If you’re based in Italy and you own a car or a motorcycle, you’ll have to pay the “bollo” tax whether you use it or not. This tax is basically a yearly road tax you pay just for owning a vehicle.

But when you go to pay it, whether through online banking, the post office, or a shop, the payment service usually adds a commission of around €1–3.

Here I wrote a simple guide (in Italian) to avoid this commission by using Revolut.

So, why you should pay more when you can spend that money for a caffè and cornetto? Go and check my guide!
