What are the tax incentives for new energy vehicles?
2 Answers
New energy vehicles are exempt from purchase tax, meaning they do not require payment of the 10% purchase tax. Below are the relevant details: Policy Announcement: According to Article 1 of the "Announcement on the Exemption of Vehicle Purchase Tax for New Energy Vehicles," from January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2022, the purchase tax for new energy vehicles is exempted. New energy vehicles exempt from purchase tax include pure electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid (including range-extended) vehicles, and fuel cell vehicles. Vehicle Purchase Tax Regulations: Article 3 of the "Vehicle Purchase Tax Law of the People's Republic of China" states that the vehicle purchase tax is levied once. Vehicles that have already been subject to purchase tax will not be taxed again.
A few days ago, I chose a pure electric vehicle when upgrading my car. The government's tax incentives were particularly practical, especially the policy of full exemption from purchase tax, which directly saved me several thousand yuan and made me feel it was a great deal. Currently, when purchasing new energy vehicles, as long as the model qualifies, you can enjoy this incentive before the end of 2027. The application process is extremely simple—the 4S dealership automatically handles it for you when buying the car, with no need for extra legwork. I think everyone should take advantage of this sooner rather than later—not only does it save money, but it also reduces fuel expenses, which is a big help for household budgets. Additionally, some regions offer reductions in vehicle and vessel tax or local subsidies, further cutting costs. In the long run, this policy encourages more families to switch to green transportation, which is both economical and environmentally friendly—a win-win situation.
