Significant differences in fuel costs between San Marino and Italy have led to a surge in ‘petro-tourism,’ with Italian motorists crossing the border to access lower diesel and gasoline prices. San Marino has maintained these lower rates through government measures, including tax reductions and the SMaC Card, which offers refunds to holders.

Following these fuel-related incentives, the San Marino government has expanded the utility of the SMaC Card. As of late October, residents can apply for tax deductions by linking domestic utility services, such as water, electricity, and gas, to their cards through the A.A.S.S. portal or local post offices.
