Is this at all true?
I was told by “someone” that there will be no more import tax starting this September, oh please say that it is true…..
Anyone?
I have NOT read that anywhere, what I do know is that hybrid cars and other electric type vehicles (including Segways) will be imported with no import taxes but I do not recall the date when that is to be applied.
You can see the article at: [ http://www.nacion.com/2010-04-19/ElPais/NotaPrincipal/ElPais2317485.aspx ]
The key section is:
El artículo 97 del plan de ley indica que estará libre de tributos “todo vehículo de transporte de tecnología de combustible limpia como vehículos híbridos, vehículos eléctricos, así como baterías u otro compone asociados al uso de este tipo de vehículos”.
A rough translation would be: “The 97th article of the plan indicates that: “all clean energy transportation vehicles like hybrids, electric vehicles, like batteries and other components associated with the use of this type of vehicle will be free of taxes.”
Does this help?
