This tax system leads to incredibly high taxes for vehicles with engines over 3000 cc (from 6000 RON per year) and low taxes for engines under 2000 ccm. As a result, many people have tried to circumvent the system by registering their vehicles in another EU country with lower taxes or by adapting their vehicles to the legal definition of a commercial vehicle. which is included in category 8 and has a rate of only 30 RON / 200cc instead of 290 RON / 200cc. For example, the owner of a vehicle with a cylinder capacity of 4000 cc must pay 5800 RON per year, compared to 480 RON per year due by someone who owns a van (also a commercial vehicle) with the same displacement of 4000. The most important legal requirement for a vehicle to claim to be a commercial vehicle is that it must have a cargo space separate from passengers and not accessible from the vehicle. Many passenger cars (especially SUVs) can be easily adapted to this requirement by installing a barrier between the trunk and the rear seats. All states and territories require an annual vehicle registration fee to operate a vehicle on public roads. The cost varies from state to state and depends on the type of vehicle. The tax is colloquially called “rego” (pronounced with a soft g, short for registration).

[1] Queensland road tax is based on the number of cylinders or rotors in the vehicle`s engine. There is also a minimal traffic improvement fee. New South Wales Road Tax is paid based on the net weight of the vehicle. In addition to paying an annual road property tax, all vehicles circulating outside the city limits must pay the “Rovinieta”, including internationally registered vehicles temporarily driving on Romanian roads, ranging from 28 euros per year for passenger cars to 1210 euros for trucks with a maximum authorized mass of more than 12 t and more than 4 axles. Classic cars are exempt from the Rovinita. From May 31, 1971 to March 31, 2010, the Japanese government passed a law introducing the automobile weight tax (in Japanese). It was amended on March 31, 2010 and the next day, April 1, 2010. The tax is paid each year at the same time as the engine displacement tax. The weight is determined in tons.

A surcharge applies to new and used diesel road vehicles with a gross weight of more than 14,000 pounds purchased inside or outside Texas. The surtax also applies to a vehicle brought into Texas by a new resident. The rate is 1% for the 1997 and later model years and 2.5% for the 1996 and earlier model years. The surcharge is paid to the county tax office and is administered in the same manner as automobile VAT. Each year, the licence plate holder must pay the annual tax contribution on the vehicles. This tax is based on engine displacement (0-799cc = hp fiscal 4, above 800cc per 200cc is a higher class). [3] Due to CO2-based regulations, diesel cars with an above-average displacement (>2,000 cc) are preferred and gasoline cars with larger displacements are disadvantaged). For LPG/CNG cars (0-799cc: €84/year, 800-2,499cc; €148/year and >2,500cc: €208/year), an additional annual fee must be paid to compensate for the financial loss to the State due to the absence of excise duty at the pump. In India, road tax is levied by the respective state governments (for life and also annually for commercial vehicles), and there could also be tolls for specific road use (fees depending on distance, type, etc.). At the time of purchase of the vehicle, the government charges GST (Goods and Services Tax) at the rate of 28% and an additional levy is levied depending on the cylinder capacity of the vehicle engine (1% for small cars with CC< 1200 CC, 3% for CC between 1200 and 1500 CC, 15% for more than 1500 CC). Electric cars are subject to a 5% lower tax. As planned, the Department of Transportation has increased the lifetime tax on various classes of vehicles.

In addition to passenger cars and jeeps, which fall into the category of denied boarding, a new life tax would be levied on motor vehicles and taxis from other States registered by change of address or transfer of ownership. The Seventh Schedule to the Act was amended to pave the way for an increase in the life tax on non-transportation vehicles for the transportation of persons owned by corporations/institutions/corporations/organizations, up to a capacity of 10 seats in all vehicles and second or more customized vehicles up to a capacity of 10 seats in all property of an individual. These days, there is a movement in India called “Digital India” where all types of work related to each department are digitized and the “Ministry of Road Transport and Highways” has created a portal called “Vahan” for online payment of road taxes to facilitate the payment of taxes to the government in offline mode. It is a very seamless experience to pay such taxes from home and save time.
