Nope. The EcoPlus mode is like the Eco mode in any other luxury sedan. It basically dulls the throttle response, makes the gear upshift early, reduces the amount of electrical assistance of the steering wheel, and reduces other electronic functions such as heated mirrors etc; to make the drive more economical. It's more of an electronic assistance to force you to drive in a more economical manner than an actual hybrid assistance or brake regeneration system. Therefore, the 'bonus miles' gained are thus not miles that the system has added on, like other hybrid or brake generation systems, but rather miles added on due to the fuel you saved by driving as if you're carrying precious, breakable cargo.

I meant the re think they were going to do about the only hybrid cars tax rates .

My wife was supposed to take delivery of a small car this month via the Company lease. Now the finance company urged us not to buy it now as it will prove too costly when it comes to the repayment as their computation is as follows

Pre- July - Purchase of car
Ex show room price of the car
Less : 14% VAT
On this Net balance the Loan interest is computed

On repayment
The EMI includes 14% VAT added to each installment

-----

Post July
- On repayment
The EMI includes 29% VAT on each installment
So we end up paying more because the Principal was computed by doing a Less 14% VAT
but recovery time they are adding back 29% VAT

This bumps up the EMI by almost 3k per month.

However if we purchase Post July
29% vs 29% gets offset .

Does this make sense ??
I guess it would apply to everyone who is on a car lease depending on the GST slab your car falls into.

Here is the difference between Current Taxation(considering VAT of 14.5%) and GST.



For Petrol Cars < 4M



For Diesel Cars < 4M



For Sedans



For Luxury Cars



FOR SUVs



The actual CST is 2%. As per my understanding, the Haryana and TN govt charges 1% CST to Maruthi and Hyundai, though I am not sure how can a State Government give exemption on CST.

For the benefit of others who are planning to purchase a car soon, I have attached an excel sheet wherein base price of the car can be modified to calculate the difference in prices.

You mean 29% GST I guess. Post July there will be nothing with the name "VAT".

I thought Car's ex-showroom price is a function of Cost + Dealer margins. So if this is true then your model wont give a true picture since you are considering the ex-showroom price which includes dealer margins as well. This means you are levying GST on dealer margins as well to arrive at the net reduction in ex-showroom, which should not be the case.

Experts pls comment?

Does this mean that there be increased emi on all existing car lease emis? This would be huge increase for all existing lease holders and especially on the residual value.

The Ex-Showroom prices quoted here are indicative to compare current net taxes(the way taxes are charged) vs GST. I haven't considered dealer margin, transportation charges etc.,

Looks like you have calculated cess on base price.

4% Infra Cess is always calculated on top of Base price + excise duty.

So for SUV's its 4% of 1040000 (800000 + 240000), which is 41600

I don't know if this would apply when you go for direct financing. But this is how it will be computed is what I was told in case you go in for a Company/Corporate car lease where the vehicle is registered in the company's name.
And later transferred to your name at the end of the Lease tenure.

SIAM has requested for a GST review on hybrid cars.
SIAM has requested that for all vehicles falling under the 28% GST bracket, their hybrid version should be levied a 10% lower GST rate of 18%, without any cess

Link below:
http://www.thehindu.com/business/Ind...le18951315.ece

In the author's own words, Without such differential, “it will be impossible to make a small hybrid electric car, commercial vehicle or two/three wheeler viable.”

Both, Haryana and Tamil Nadu Governments levy and collect 2% Central Sales Tax. A State Government can give a manufacturing entity subsidies and other incentives through a "Package Scheme of Incentives", through their respective Sales Tax laws.

I also understand that the excise on cars measuring under 4 metres is 12.36%. A rough calculation with a Ford Aspire tax invoice in hand told me that the current tax structure had 29.62% of its share in the price of the car, with road tax excluded.

I guess it would apply to everyone who is on a car lease depending on the GST slab your car falls into.

I guess there is indeed some issue, have a look here:


Under the proposed framework for GST on services, the transfer of “right to use motor vehicles“ and sale of such vehicles after the lease period is complete will be liable to the rate applicable on automobile sector along with the cess.

For mid-segment and large cars, this will be 43% (28%+15%). Currently, lease transaction and sale of vehicle after the lease period are subject to 12.5% value added tax. Leases are subject to service tax of 15% if the vehicle's ownership is not transferred. Thus, for leases that are already running, the total tax bill will rise by as much as 30.5 percentage points, raising the prospect of double taxation of all vehicles leased in the pre-GST era.
