The 2026 Finance Law includes several new amendments, most notably those related to the Stamp Law. It proposes exempting electric and hybrid vehicles from the vehicle voucher tax, along with vehicles powered by compressed natural gas (CNG). Meanwhile, the Voucher Tax has been re-imposed on vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).
The draft law explained that this decision comes after the significant increase in LPG consumption, which reached 1.7 million tons in 2023, due to the significant price gap between it and gasoline and diesel. It noted that this situation has impacted the quantities destined for export, despite LPG being considered a clean fuel with lower emissions.
This measure is part of the state’s policy to rationalize energy consumption and encourage the transition to electric transportation, especially after the launch of a program to establish 1,000 high-speed charging stations across the country.
Thus, the draft finance law seeks to encourage the use of electric and hybrid cars on the one hand, and control the consumption of liquefied petroleum gas on the other, in support of the national drive towards energy transition and environmental protection.
