Rome and Turin set 2026 waste tax rates and relief measures

The Rome city council approved the 2026‑2029 waste‑tax (TARI) plan, adopting a financial program that forecasts a total cost of €921.3 million for 2026 and €930.2 million for 2027 – roughly a 7‑8 % rise over 2025. The tariff for 2026 is expected to increase by about 5.2 % for both domestic and non‑domestic users. The city highlighted that a €60 million recovery from tax evasion helped limit the burden on households and businesses while maintaining service quality.

In Turin, the municipal government kept the 2026 waste‑tax rates unchanged. Instead, it expanded income‑based discounts: households with an ISEE up to €10,000 receive a 50 % reduction, with tiered discounts of 45 %, 30 % and 20 % for higher ISEE brackets. Additional relief includes a 10 % cut for recognized religious cults, a 30 % cut for NGOs and social cooperatives, and an extension of the 30 % discount to other third‑sector entities. The city also confirmed discounts for commercial and artisanal premises located in zones affected by long‑term roadworks.
