Reducing the taxation of vehicles and boats announced to be based on small-displacement vehicles

The Ministry of Finance, the State Administration of Taxation, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued a joint notification yesterday that stipulates that since January 1 this year, half of the passenger and boat taxes will be levied on energy-saving vehicles and boats, and the use of new energy vehicles and boats will be exempted from vehicle and boat taxes. At the same time, the three ministries and commissions also released the first list of vehicle models for the reduction of taxes on vehicles and vehicles.

The first batch of vehicles with low-displacement gasoline vehicles as the first batch of catalogs announced that half of the nearly 50 models of energy-saving vehicles will be taxed on vehicles and vehicles, and more than 170 models of electric vehicles will be exempt from vehicle and boat taxes.

The "Notice" put forward specific criteria for identifying new energy vehicles that are fully tax-free. In addition, the new energy model is in line with the new energy model defined in the “Energy Efficiency and New Energy Vehicle Industry Planning” issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in 2010. However, in the list of specifically announced exempt models, there are currently only three plug-in hybrid models from three companies: FAW, Geely, and BYD.

The first batch of models covers nearly 50 passenger car products of ten joint ventures and independent brands, all of which are products with a displacement of 1.6L or less, including VW Golf, Magotan, and Laguna; General Aiweiou, Excelle; Nissan Sunshine , Tiida, Chery QQ and other hot products, and these are basically the models that have previously enjoyed a 3,000 yuan energy-saving Huimin subsidy.

The industry believes that the reduction of taxes on vehicles and boats is to transfer subsidies from the purchase link to the consumption link, but the subsidy rate is lower than the original one-off one-off subsidy of 3,000 yuan.

There is no obvious policy tilt for hybrid power. It is worth noting that the first list does not include hybrid vehicles that have been included for the first time in the scope of national policy subsidies. According to relevant sources, the relevant national departments are still formulating detailed policies for specific products.

Zhong Shi, a domestic car commentator, said that the "Notice" only incorporated the concept of hybrid into the scope of the tax reduction but did not formulate policies for specific vehicles. Non-plug-in hybrids sold on the domestic market are classified into light mix and heavy mix depending on the proportion of motors participating in the auxiliary drive. “Two hybrid technologies have very different fuel economy effects if the policy is the same across the board. , it is difficult to guarantee fairness."

In addition, hybrid vehicles and traditional small-displacement vehicles enjoy the same halving tax and tax incentives, and cannot highlight the country's policy bias toward hybrid vehicles.
