Are New Energy Vehicles Exempt from Vehicle and Vessel Tax?

[RiverFitz]

For eligible new energy vehicles, there is no need to pay vehicle and vessel tax. According to Article 2 of the "Notice on Preferential Policies for Energy-Saving and New Energy Vehicles and Vessels Regarding Vehicle and Vessel Tax": New energy vehicles and vessels are exempt from vehicle and vessel tax. New energy vehicles exempt from vehicle and vessel tax include pure electric commercial vehicles, plug-in (including range-extended) hybrid vehicles, and fuel cell commercial vehicles. Pure electric passenger vehicles and fuel cell passenger vehicles are not subject to vehicle and vessel tax and are exempt from it. Below are the benefits of new energy vehicles: 1. Fuel energy savings: New energy vehicles generally use natural gas, petroleum gas, hydrogen, or electricity as power sources, saving fuel energy. 2. Reduced exhaust emissions: New energy vehicles produce no exhaust emissions, effectively protecting the environment. Electric vehicles do not emit tail gases and are pollution-free. Hydrogen-powered vehicles emit water as exhaust, which causes no environmental pollution. Since they are essentially zero-emission, they are also exempt from traffic restrictions based on license plate numbers. 3. High efficiency: New energy vehicles generally adopt new technologies and structures, making them more efficient.
