Hunting: many Italians have a passion for hunting but how much does it cost to hunters to practice this passion? Often up to € 318 for hunting outside the region.
The start of the hunting season is almost upon us and hunting enthusiasts have to deal with contributions and taxes to be paid to the various competent bodies. In fact, with the exception of the fixed cost of the government concession fee, equal to 174 euros, in addition to the costs for firearms and revenue stamps for the license, there are many items of variable expenditure, with significant increases for those who decide to hunt further. the borders of your region.
The real sting arrives, in fact, for hunters who want to practice hunting outside their region of residence. The areas within each regional territory, in fact, are divided under the name of ATC, Territorial Areas of Hunting. To hunt in each territorial area, an annual amount must be paid which varies, even significantly, from area to area.
The cost that an extra-regional hunter has to face, however, is much higher than that required of a resident: in Puglia, for example, a hunter from another region can spend 84 euros, compared to the 42 required from the locals. In Tuscany, in the province of Arezzo, if a local hunter spends around 51 euros to move within their area, for non-regional people the cost increases considerably: those coming from Lazio, for example, are required to pay, in addition to the 51,60, 100 euros, a tax of 60 euros. Abruzzo also applies a consistent differentiation between local and non-local: 100 euros for residents and XNUMX for those coming from other regions.
