Prime Minister Victor Ponta said earlier Friday that the car pollution tax will be replaced with an environmental tax which will consider the vehicle’s engine capacity and the emission of air pollutants.
The car pollution tax, charged on the first sale of cars registered before 2007, had been suspended for one year at the beginning of 2012 and became mandatory on January 1, 2013.
Ponta said in December the Government would analyze the situation in its first meeting in 2013 and would consider replacing the car pollution tax with an environmental tax to consider mainly the car’s emissions of air pollutants.
