THE MOTOR INDUSTRY OF JAPAN 2020
42/68

To help expedite the shift to low-carbon road transport in the interest of curbing global warming and to help improve air quality, the Japanese government has, since April 2009, applied auto-related tax incentives to promote the wider use of eco-friendly vehicles. Updated incentives and eligibility requirements came into effect in April and May 2019 and their effective periods were extended for two years with the exception of the incentives for the acquisition tax, which expired at the end of September 2019 when the acquisition tax was abolished.Tax Incentives to Promote the Wider Use of Eco-Friendly Vehicles(1) An initial inspection is mandated for a new vehicle purchase; exemption at the time of first vehicle inspection post-purchase applies only when the new inspection certificate is issued within 15 days following expiration of the old certificate. (2) For vehicles compliant +90% with 2020 fuel efficiency standards, exemption applies on initial inspection mandated for new vehicle purchase and at the time of first vehicle inspection post-purchase (only when the new inspection certificate is issued within 15 days following expiration of the old certificate).INCENTIVES & ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS● TONNAGE TAX REDUCTIONS/EXEMPTIONSPeriod in effect: May 1, 2019 through April 30, 2021.• Electric vehicles • Fuel cell vehicles• Natural gas vehicles (with NOx emissions down by 10% from 2009 emission standards, or complying with 2018 emission standards)• Plug-in hybrid vehicles• Clean diesel passenger cars (complying with 2009 or 2018 emission standards)+10%Compliant2020 Fuel Efficiency Standards+20%+30%+40%+90%@ Initial vehicleinspection@ Initial & firstvehicleinspectionsExempt (1)Fuel efficiencyEmissions level25%reduction50%reductionExempt (2)Down by 75% from 2005 standards or Down by 50% from 2018 standardsReductions/ExemptionsWhen Imposed1.
