class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>This rate applies to transactions by registered dealers, specifically calculated on the margin scheme:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The GST is applied to the difference between the selling price and the purchase price of the vehicle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the margin is negative (i.e., the vehicle is sold at a loss), no GST is levied.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Private sales (i.e., between unregistered individuals) remain exempt from GST.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span

purposes was revisited, with GST on luxury vehicles already being at 28%, along with a compensation cess ranging from 15%-22%, depending on the vehicle type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Streamlining_of_EV_Taxation\"><\/span>Streamlining of EV Taxation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While new EVs are taxed at 5% GST, the used EVs will now attract the same 18% GST rate as other vehicles when sold by registered dealers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span

will directly affect profit margins, as customers might push back on price increases.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Dealers may have to restructure pricing to remain

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Dealers with a large inventory of used vehicles may experience slower sales due to the higher cost for end

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Private individuals selling their used cars to other individuals will not attract GST, making such transactions relatively cheaper than purchasing from dealers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>This could shift demand toward peer-to-peer transactions, reducing the market share of registered dealers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"For_Consumers\"><\/span>For Consumers<span

Rise<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>An 18% GST will likely be factored into the final price of used vehicles sold by registered dealers, increasing costs for buyers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Buyers may opt for direct individual transactions to avoid GST.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4

rate for used EVs is now the same as other vehicles (18%), new EVs still attract a lower GST of 5%, making new EVs more appealing in certain scenarios.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2

taxation process and reduce classification disputes, particularly for used and luxury vehicles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>However, this move could inadvertently impact the
