22 November 2015 07:28 am - 24 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}
The unit rate for vehicles through the budget proposal and the new valuation system that introduced recently would increase the prices of vehicles by Rs. 200,000 up to Rs. 2.5 million, the Vehicle Importers Association of Lanka (VIAL) said today.A new valuation system was introduced recently taking full option manufacturers price as the tax base.
Finance Minister Ravi Karunanayake said presenting the budget, to further strengthen this process of collecting the payable taxes said that the unit rate of excise duty for the vehicles on the basis of cubic centimeters and duties on the percentage basis on certain vehicles would be revised.
VIAL Chairman Indika Sampath Merenchige said with those introductions, the tax on electric vehicles had also been increased from 5 % to 50 % and therefore duty would increase on electric vehicles such as ‘Leaf’ by around Rs. 2.5 million.
“The import tax on 1000cc vehicles has been increased from 50 % to 70 % and therefore vehicles such as ‘Wagon R’ would increase by around Rs 400,000 and Maruti prices would increase by Rs. 250,000, he said.
“The tax on hybrid vehicles has been increased to 10 per cent and thereafter Aqua vehicle would increase around Rs. 500,000 to 600,000 while Prius would increase by around Rs.700,000”, he said.
Mr. Merenchige said the tax rate on vans had been increased from 85% to 150% and price on vans would increase of by around Rs.2.5 million.
He said the new prices would come into effect on Monday (23).
Meanwhile, 2016 budget has reduced excise duty to 2.5 percent for the vehicles which are run entirely on Solar, Hydrogen or Helium.
A vehicle import fee to obtain a Vehicle Entitlement Certificate for each vehicle was also introduced and therefore Rs. 2,000 per motor cycle and three wheeler, Rs.15,000 for a motor car and Rs.10,000 per vehicle for all other vehicles would have to pay as fee.(DS)

Emission tests are carried out to minimize environmental pollution, but here in sri lanka emission test is a big business and cars such as hybrid less polluting and electric car zero emission, if gov. really think about environmental factors they should reduce taxes on hybrid and electric car. if not point less of taking about port city or other project environmental impact issues.

Nobody manufactures solara, helium and hydrogen cars except for scientists. This is such a stupid budget.
Purushoththaman Sunday, 22 November 2015 08:33 PM
Glad I bought an aqua about 5 months back.
Asf65 Sunday, 22 November 2015 08:01 PM
Couple of days ago the FOB prices were reduced. Based on this, the price of AQUA will reduce by around 500,000. However, due to the increase in tax the price of Aqua will increase in between 500,000 to 600,000. Simply no effect
Mr. Smart Sunday, 22 November 2015 07:52 PM
Yes! The price of vehicles should go up more as the roads cannot intake the amount of vehicles and the bloody 3 wheelers must be stopped for good.
supun Sunday, 22 November 2015 07:42 PM
How can 3 million Leaf increase by 2.5 million with a 50% tax?
Sim Sunday, 22 November 2015 07:39 PM

Budget speech said tax is 2.5% on solar cars NOT electric cars.

Ohoma yan...taama patangatta witarai. Yaahapalane....This is a nightmare budget for middle class people..those who voted fr this group of so called yahapalana nade will soon get to know their true faces...they made lots of complain when the previouse gvt increse the marrege registration fee..that u hav to do once in a life time ..now they increse veh emission fee fr 1600 to 5000...that u hav to do every year...
ET Sunday, 22 November 2015 02:01 PM
Bull talk. Taxes on electric, hydrogen run vehicles have been reduced to 2.5% from 10%, according to the budget speech. Also customs have done a further change in FOB valuation of vehicles after importers made representations. Your own sister newspaper Sumday times says, price of Toyota Aqua will fall by 500,000. Please correct this.
Arun Sunday, 22 November 2015 01:22 PM
So which car price reduce that available in srilanka ?
Mm Sunday, 22 November 2015 01:20 PM
Haaahaaa, the conman man who voted illang kaawa
