Tobacco and Cigarettes
The 2026 Budget includes stepped increases in excise duties on cigarettes and other tobacco products — planned to continue through 2028. This translates into price increases for cigarette packs and related goods.
Parcel Handling and Imports
New contributions — such as fixed charges on small packages from non-EU countries — raise logistics costs for parcel delivery. These fees are often reflected in higher shipping prices for consumers and businesses alike.

4. Wider Inflation and Spillover Effects
While specific policies explain big parts of the increases, broader economic forces also play a role:
Inflation adjustments in tariffs, wages, and operating costs feed into many prices — from services to commodities.
Many sectors adjust prices in anticipation of regulatory changes or to protect margins in an environment of increasing cost pressures.
What It Means for Italians
The cumulative impact of these increases is felt by consumers across many areas:
Higher fuel and transport outlays for commuting and logistics.
More expensive insurance coverage for cars and commercial vehicles.
Greater everyday costs for products subject to excise taxes.
Overall increases in service and goods prices due to inflation and indirect cost pass-through.
Consumer associations warn that an average Italian household could face several hundred euros in new expenses annually unless counterbalancing measures (like tax credits or subsidies) are implemented.
