SAVE Group – The Council of State annuls the municipal surtax of EUR 2.50 instituted by the Municipality of Venice for passengers departing from Marco Polo Airport.
It is with great satisfaction that SAVE learns of the decision of the Council of State which, with sentence 04858/2024, annuls the municipal surtax of EUR 2.50 instituted by the Municipality of Venice for passengers departing from Marco Polo airport.
The Council of State in fact upheld the appeal formulated by, among others, SAVE, reforming the sentence issued by the Veneto Regional Administrative Court and annulling the Municipality’s resolution of 23 December 2022 instituting the municipal surtax.
The Council of State therefore recognised the erroneous nature of the acts of the Municipality of Venice, both in procedural terms and in terms of the lack of justification for the choice made.
This outcome was in line with the position immediately expressed by SAVE, according to which the new tax would not only damage the development of Italy’s third intercontinental airport, but would also undermine that of the vast area served, considering the contribution of the airport’s activities in terms of mobility, employment, and economic growth.
