Special Tax
 |
In additional to road tax, special tax is payable for non-petrol cars. |
|
This is because there is a petrol duty which is meant to encourage fuel conservation and discourage excessive use of vehicles that contribute to congestion and pollution. However, there is no diesel and CNG duty. Hence, a special tax is levied on any non-petrol car in lieu of fuel duty to narrow the difference in the cost of fuel consumption between petrol and non-petrol cars. |
|
CNG cars, CNG taxis, Bi-fuel (CNG/Petrol) cars and Bi-fuel (CNG/Petrol) taxis are exempted from special tax until 31 December 2011. From 1 January 2012, these vehicles will no longer be subjected to special tax. |
|
Special tax is not applicable to Buses and Commercial Vehicles. |
