An important but sad step was taken before the electric domestic car model Togg, an additional tax was imposed for electric cars from China.
In the past week, only electric motor driven cars additional customs duty. Specifically, with the official decision on electric cars from China in the new period, additional 40 percent tax (Total was more than 50 percent additional tax) added. It is still not directly explained behind this, but it seems to be protecting the first Togg vehicle. This step, which is thought to have been taken in order for the domestic Togg to gain a price advantage in the market and to fight the Chinese electric vehicle that is on its way to Turkey, will increase its number seriously in 2023. Chinese electrics (Especially small city vehicles.) will make it seriously expensive. The effect of this will of course not be good for consumers. The Chinese Ministry of Commerce also made a statement on this matter. HaberTürk’s foreign press according to the news China’s Ministry of Commerce Spokesperson Gao Feng said that Turkey should withdraw this decision.Recalling that China and Turkey are members of the World Trade Organization (WTO), Turkey’s stated that he must comply with the rules and commitments.
