The Tax Administration reiterated that new motor vehicle tax control measures will commence on March 30, 2026. These measures introduce revised assessment criteria for vehicle ownership and usage, aiming to enhance revenue collection and ensure fairness in tax distribution. Key components include updated valuation methods based on vehicle age, engine capacity, and emission levels, as well as stricter enforcement of registration compliance. Vehicle owners are advised to review their current tax classifications and verify that their records reflect accurate information. The new regime also incorporates a tiered payment structure, allowing taxpayers to settle obligations in installments under specific conditions. Exemptions and discounts may apply to certain categories, such as electric vehicles and vehicles used for charitable purposes. The Tax Administration will conduct public information sessions to explain the changes and address concerns. Notices will be disseminated through official channels, including the government website and local media outlets. Timely compliance with the new controls is essential to avoid penalties, and affected parties are encouraged to consult tax advisors for personalized guidance regarding their obligations.
