One-Time Tax for Commercial Vehicles in Noida: New Rates Explained

Commercial vehicle owners in Noida can now opt for a one-time tax payment. The new system replaces quarterly, half-yearly, or annual payments. It applies to vehicles with unladen weight up to 7,500 kg.

Tax Fixed at Around 10% of Vehicle Value

The one-time tax is approximately 10% of the vehicle's cost. Rates vary by vehicle type and value. The change aims to curb revenue losses from non-payment. It also spares owners from penalties for missed instalments.

Two-wheelers used for commercial purposes will pay 12.5% of vehicle cost. Three-wheelers will be charged at 7%. Four-wheeler commercial vehicles costing up to ₹10 lakh will be taxed at 10.5%. Those costing more than ₹10 lakh will attract 12.5% tax.

Goods vehicles with GVW up to 3,000 kg will pay 3%. Those with GVW between 3,000 kg and 7,500 kg will be taxed at 6%.

New System Benefits Vehicle Owners

Assistant Regional Transport Officer Nand Kumar stated that the new system relieves operators from repeated tax payments. It also protects them from penalties imposed due to delayed or non-payment. The system creates a simpler, more predictable taxation framework.

This includes 3,156 commercial motorcycles, 19,800 cabs, 29,852 goods carriers, 28,000 autos, 4,548 buses, and 10,873 tractors.
