The owner of any form of transportation equipment using public roads or rivers, regardless of purpose, must apply to the tax authorities for appropriate vehicle licenses and pay taxes due.
The taxpayers of the vehicle license tax are the owners or users of transportation equipment.
The Amendments to Articles 5 and 25 of the Vehicle License Tax Act were promulgated on December 30th, 2021. Article 5 provides that the municipal or county (city) government is authorized to extend the period of the vehicle license tax exemption of completely electric-operated vehicles and motorcycles to December 31, 2025.
