Last week, the Ministry of the Environment registered a bill on the tax on pollution of motor vehicles.
It states that both the registration and use taxes would be calculated by multiplying the car’s CO2 emissions by the rate and the corresponding tax factor.
The rates would depend on the CO2 emissions and the coefficients of the European standard, the type of fuel or the year of manufacture.
According to Delfi representatives, not all vehicles have the CO2 content specified in the Register of Road Vehicles that they maintain.
“This is because the collection of this information was not mandatory in the past and not all vehicles have CO2 at their source or approval documents,” they explained.
However, according to data from July 7 this year, a total of about 1.67 million. Cars M1 and N1. Of these, the indicated amount of CO2 was approximately 864.7 thousand, or 51.7 percent.
About 180.8 thousand. cars had emissions from 0 to 130 grams per kilometer. 275 thousand – 131-160 g / km, 272.2 thousand. – 161-200 g / km, 114.3 thousand. – 201–250 g / km, 22.4 mil. – 251 g / km and more.
Consequently, car owners emitting 0-130 g / km would not have to pay taxes.
Emissions between 131 and 160 g / km should be subject to a registration fee of between € 115.28 and € 440 and an annual user fee of between € 29.34 and € 112.
A registration fee of € 193.2 to € 750 and a usage fee of € 48.94 to € 190 would be expected for emissions between 161 and 200 g / km.
Owners of polluting vehicles of 201-250 g / km will have to pay between € 353.76 and € 1375 per registration and between € 88.44 and € 343.75 per year.
Driving a 251g / km car would have cost at least € 602.4 to register, with at least € 150.6 a year to use. Theoretically, the rates do not have a “ceiling”, but assuming a maximum vehicle pollution of 300 g / km, the maximum registration tax would be € 2,258 and the usage fee would be € 564 per year.
However, such sizes would only be valid in 2023. Starting in 2024, CO2 regimes are expected to change. For example, starting in 2024, car owners emitting more than 120g / km would also have to pay the tax. In 2026, the exemption threshold would drop to 100 g / km.
The bill also provides for the indexation of rates and coefficients, which would depend on annual inflation. This would also increase taxes.
The draft also describes the procedure for cars that do not document CO2 emissions.
The Ministry proposes that only drivers of electric vehicles who enjoy privileges and immunities in accordance with international Lithuanian agreements and adapted for the disabled are exempt from tax.
Tax exemptions would also apply to managers aged 65 and over (50% discount until 2027), managers with a family card (50%), and drivers of vehicles registered before July 1, 2020 (50% by 2025).
