Italy's tax breaks for Vatican may be "illegal," EU warns

Vatican-owned properties on Italian soil currently are all exempt from the municipal tax on property because they are classified as non-commercial, even in the case of religious hostels or hospitals that actually make a profit.



In a statement, the European Commission said its 'preliminary view is that the relevant provisions could provide a selective advantage to their beneficiaries' commercial activities and therefore constitute (illegal) state aid under EU rules.'
