After the green light from the governor, the Karnataka Motor Vehicles Taxation (Amendment) Act was published in the state.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from EVs, this act also affects transport vehicles (yellow board) running on petrol and diesel. The amendment to the Act also included a 3% increase in the cess rate on transport vehicles. This increased tax is to generate funds for the welfare of drivers and other workers in the transport industry.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cartoq.com\/tata-punch-ev-driving-impressions-pricing-features\/\"  rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Tata Punch.EV Drive Review: Check It Out!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>In addition to the existing cess of the tax levied under Section 3 on motor vehicles registered under Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 (Central Act 59 of 1988), three percent additional cess shall be levied and collected on transport vehicles for the purpose of Karnataka Motor Transport and Other Allied Workers Social Security and Welfare Fund,<\/em>&#8221; the act states.<\/p>\n<p>According to the government, in 2021, there were around 80,000 electric vehicles on Bengaluru roads alone, and this number is expected to increase to 23 Lakh by the year 2030. The total number of electric vehicles across the state of Karnataka\u00a0 has already crossed the 3 lakh mark.<\/p>\n<p>With this simple move of raising taxes on premium electric vehicles, and the cess on transport vehicles, the Karnataka Government is expecting to mobilize approximately Rs 100 crore per year.

Moreover, the pushback from buyers of expensive cars is at near negligible levels. A similar move to increase tax on say electric two wheelers will attract massive pushback from middle and lower middle class buyers, and is a reason why governments stay away from such moves.<\/p>\n<h2>EVs will eventually be taxed higher<\/h2>\n<p>Most state governments across India have been offering tax breaks on EVs to increase adoption. However, once EVs become mainstream, they&#8217;re likely to be taxed at par with petrol and diesel powered vehicles. Karnataka government&#8217;s move of levying a 10 % tax on premium EVs is just a sign of things to come.<\/p>\n<p>Via <a href=\"https:\/\/economictimes.indiatimes.com\/industry\/renewables\/high-end-evs-to-cost-more-in-karnataka-as-govt-hikes-tax\/articleshow\/108346506.cms?from=mdr\"  rel=\"noopener\">ETAuto<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cartoq.com\/karnataka-govt-tax-premium-electric-cars-suv-over-25-lakh\/\">Electric Cars, SUVs Priced Over 25 Lakh Get Pricier In Bengaluru As Karnataka Govt Ends Tax Breaks<\/a> first appeared on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cartoq.com\/\">Cartoq<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h2><b>Commercials Cooperation Advertisements:<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p><br>(1) IT Teacher IT Freelance<br> <\/p>\r\n<a href=https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress><img src=http:\/\/gamefootballmobileanimeiphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ITTeacherITFreelance-Website.png alt=IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 java\u88dc\u7fd2 \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2,IT freelance, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b, PHP\u88dc\u7fd2,CSS\u88dc\u7fd2,XML,Java\u88dc\u7fd2,MySQL\u88dc\u7fd2,graphic design\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e2d\u5c0f\u5b78ICT\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e00\u5c0d\u4e00\u79c1\u4eba\u88dc\u7fd2\u548cFreelance\u81ea\u7531\u5de5\u4f5c\u914d\u5c0d\u3002\/><\/a><p><a href=https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/findteacher>\u7acb\u523b\u8a3b\u518a\u53ca\u5831\u540d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2\u8ab2\u7a0b\u5427! <\/a><br>\r\n\r\n\u7535\u5b50\u8ba1\u7b97\u673a -\u6559\u80b2 -IT \u96fb\u8166\u73ed\u201d ( IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 ) \u63d0\u4f9b\u4e00\u500b\u65b9\u4fbf\u7684\u7535\u5b50\u8ba1\u7b97\u673a \u6559\u80b2\u5e73\u53f0, \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u4fe1\u606f\u6280\u672f, \u96fb\u8166 \u8001\u5e2b, IT freelance \u548c programming expert. \u8b93\u5927\u5bb6\u65b9\u4fbf\u5730\u5c31\u80fd\u627e\u5230\u5408\u9069\u7684\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2, \u96fb\u8166\u73ed, \u5bb6\u6559, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b.  <br>\r\n\r\nWe are a education and information platform which you can find a IT private tutorial teacher or freelance. <br>\r\n\r\nAlso we provide different information about information technology, Computer, programming, mobile, Android, apple, game, movie, anime, animation\u2026 \r\n<\/p>\n<p><br>(2) ITSec<br> <\/p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.vip><img src=http:\/\/gamefootballmobileanimeiphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ITSec-Main-Promotion-Image.png alt= https:\/\/itsec.vip\/\r\nSecure Your Computers from Cyber Threats and mitigate risks with professional services to defend Hackers.  \r\nITSec provide IT Security and Compliance Services, including IT Compliance Services, Risk Assessment, IT Audit, Security Assessment and Audit, ISO 27001 Consulting and Certification, GDPR Compliance Services, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), Penetration test, Ethical Hacking, Vulnerabilities scan, IT Consulting, Data Privacy Consulting, Data Protection Services, Information Security Consulting, Cyber Security Consulting, Network Security Audit, Security Awareness Training.\/><\/a> \r\n<br><br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.vip>www.ITSec.vip<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/sraa.com.hk>www.Sraa.com.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.hk>www.ITSec.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/penetrationtest.hk>www.Penetrationtest.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itseceu.uk>www.ITSeceu.uk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\nSecure Your Computers from Cyber Threats and mitigate risks with professional services to defend Hackers. <br><br>\r\nITSec provide IT Security and Compliance Services, including IT Compliance Services, Risk Assessment, IT Audit, Security Assessment and Audit, ISO 27001 Consulting and Certification, GDPR Compliance Services, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), Penetration test, Ethical Hacking, Vulnerabilities scan, IT Consulting, Data Privacy Consulting, Data Protection Services, Information Security Consulting, Cyber Security Consulting, Network Security Audit, Security Awareness Training. \r\n<br><br>Contact us right away. <br><br>Email (Prefer using email to contact us): <br>SalesExecutive@ITSec.vip<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The prices of electric vehicles in Karnataka will go up as the government has now imposed a new tax on the premium EVs sold in the state.
