Dear teachers, what do you think of the latest new energy vehicle purchase tax policy?
On June 21, the Ministry of Finance, the State Administration of Taxation, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology jointly issued the Announcement on Extending and Optimizing the New Energy Vehicle Purchase Tax Reduction and Reduction Policy. Compared with the previous "first exempt for one or two years", this policy directly announces the reduction plan for the next four years at one time, and the specific provisions are as follows:
· New energy vehicles with a purchase date between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2025 are exempt from vehicle purchase tax, of which the exemption amount for each new energy passenger vehicle does not exceed 30,000 yuan;
· The vehicle purchase tax will be levied on the vehicle purchase tax halving for new energy vehicles with a purchase date between January 1, 2026 and December 31, 2027, of which the tax reduction amount for each new energy passenger vehicle shall not exceed 15,000 yuan.
It means that in the next four years, the purchase tax policy of new energy vehicles is "two exemptions and two halves". For many new energy vehicle companies that are rolling in and have not yet made a profit, the continuation of the reduction and reduction can be described as another "charging".
In fact, not only in China, in recent years, under the influence of carbon emission pressure, the policy support for new energy vehicles in various countries has continued to strengthen. The share of new energy vehicles in the overall automobile market has increased year by year. In 2021, the market share of new energy passenger vehicles increased to 8.5% of the overall passenger car market, an increase of 4.8 percentage points from 2020.
In 2021, China's new energy passenger vehicle sales reached 3.31 million units, accounting for 53% of the global market share, surpassing Europe and becoming the world's largest new energy vehicle market.
The penetration rate of new energy vehicles in the world has generally shown a rapid improvement trend, reaching 8.5% this year, of which China's new energy penetration rate has reached 13%, Germany has reached 23%, and Norway has reached 70%. It's just 4 percent in the U.S. and 1 percent in Japan. Therefore, the imbalance of new energy development in the world is extremely obvious. With the increase in the penetration of new energy in the United States, the world's new energy vehicles have entered a new stage of strong development.
