The government and the Progress Party agreed on the state budget for 2021, and the planned increase in car taxes will not materialize, the FRP reports on its website.
“In addition, the FRP has received approval to remove the government’s planned increase in the single tax on passenger cars and the government’s proposal to increase the requirements for the scope of the single tax on hybrid cars, in addition to a tax reduced on motorcycles. “
In the state budget proposal, the government proposed that rechargeable hybrid cars receive a higher one-time fee. In the proposal, cars had to have an electric range of 75 kilometers to get a full deduction, an increase from the current range requirement of 50 kilometers. Therefore, this will not happen.
Sales of rechargeable hybrids have been high this year, with a 20 percent market share among passenger cars. That’s almost 50 percent more than at the same time last year. Among other things, this has pushed Toyota to the top of the record statistics in November.
Had the tax change been valid, for example, a rechargeable version of BMW’s X3 compact SUV would have received a tax increase of NOK 35,000, as it has a range of 46 kilometers.
The deal naturally sparks enthusiasm in the auto industry.
– This agreement was even better than we had dared to hope. This is wonderful good news. With the country in the midst of a demanding pandemic situation, predictability for the business community is very important. For both our consumers, BIL members and the business community, this is a helping hand that we will remember, says Bilimportørenes Landsforening director Erik Andresen on the industry website Bilnytt.no.
There will also be no increase in tariffs on the CO2 component, so cars with conventional gasoline and diesel engines will not receive higher taxes either.(Terms)Copyright Dagens Næringsliv AS and / or our suppliers.
