Amendments to Tax Laws

On 4 July 2008, the amendment to the Road Tax Act became effective, which introduces a new system that reduces road tax rates for more environmental friendly cars from 2009.

The reduction of the tax rate is no longer bound to emission limits of pollutants in exhaust gases pursuant to EU regulations but to the date of the first registration of the car. This new method of tax rate reduction will be applied already for the 2008 taxation period pursuant to transitory provisions of the amendment. The tax rates for cars registered for the first time up to 31 December 1989, on the contrary, will be increased with effectiveness from 2009.

Amendment to the Excise Tax Act, effective from 4 July 2008, slightly extends the range of mineral oils for which it is possible to request a refund of paid excise tax within the framework of the so-called “green oil” regime.
