Here are the reasons why a car doesn't accelerate when stepping on the gas pedal: 1. Vehicle malfunction: If there is a fault with the motor vehicle, it's normal to experience the phenomenon of not accelerating when stepping on the gas pedal. Once you find that stepping on the gas pedal doesn't increase speed, after ruling out technique issues, you must promptly visit a repair shop to have a mechanic check it out and resolve any problems immediately. This phenomenon generally doesn't occur in new cars but may appear in some older or used cars. Especially with used cars, extra caution is needed when purchasing. 2. Gas pedal technique issues: Some drivers have incorrect driving habits like aggressive driving or forcefully stepping on the gas pedal. Long-term incorrect gas pedal usage can have a fatal impact on the vehicle's acceleration system, making it normal to experience the phenomenon of not accelerating when stepping on the gas pedal.

How is the Luxury Car Tax Calculated?

For ultra-luxury passenger cars with a retail price of 1.3 million yuan (excluding VAT) or more, an additional 10% consumption tax is levied at the retail stage. The luxury tax is imposed on excessive luxury consumption behaviors that fall into the category of extravagant consumption, enjoyed by a minority, and is beneficial in curbing excessive consumption. Specific details are as follows: 1. Luxury car tax; Implementing a luxury tax is a massive systematic project that requires a thorough evaluation process. Levying taxes on luxury goods and luxury consumption is a good method for reasonably regulating consumption and can, to some extent, address the unfairness in social income distribution. Regarding the proposal to impose luxury goods taxes and luxury taxes, few scholars fully support it, while many hold differing opinions. Luxury behavior itself is neither right nor wrong; whether to restrict a certain luxury behavior depends on two scenarios: one is whether such consumption imposes costs on society, such as excessively consuming scarce non-renewable resources, resulting in waste, or emitting pollution that harms others. In such cases, taxes can be used to impose restrictions, and similar taxes do exist currently; the other scenario is who pays for such consumption. Currently, the rampant public fund consumption involves public officials indulging in luxury at taxpayers' expense.
