JAKARTA: Indonesia, a top supplier of a key battery metal, will aim to boost sales of electric vehicles (EVs) with a new regulation that will cut tax breaks for hybrid cars.
Battery-powered EVs will retain their 0% luxury tax rate, while plug-in hybrid vehicles will see their tariff increase to 5% from 0%, according to a draft regulation issued by the finance ministry yesterday. Full and mild hybrid types will be taxed at a rate of 6%-12%, compared with a previous range of 2%-12%.
