The Regional Administrative Court (TAR) in Sicily has issued several rulings addressing municipal and prefectural administrative actions. 

In Messina, the Court of Tax Justice annulled a multi-year waste tax (TARI) assessment against a Third Sector entity. The court found that the municipality improperly accumulated sanctions for declaration omissions and incorrectly calculated the taxable surface area by failing to apply a required 80% reduction criterion.

In separate proceedings, the TAR of Sicily ruled in favor of local businesses in Marsala and Favignana. In Marsala, the court annulled an anti-mafia injunction issued by the Prefecture of Trapani against an agricultural entrepreneur, citing a failure to respect procedural guarantees and personal notification requirements. In Favignana, the court granted relief to car rental companies challenging a new municipal regulation, noting concerns regarding municipal competence and a lack of prior consultation with economic operators.
