Maybe
I'm not convinced, however, that this insane tax is valid only for Italian aircraft though. If so, it would be only too easy to change to another register such as Malta or the IOM for private aircraft. (Not as if any wealthy Italians would want to evade tax though
)
Let's hope it just doesn't happen... Some on other forums saying its for all aircraft registers, not just Italian. Well soon see!
From the IAOPA article:
it could affect every pilot in Europe because it applies to any private aircraft, of any nationality, which remains on Italian territory for 48 hours or more. Not only does that make visiting Italy expensive, but even passing through the country becomes risky
