Light Vehicle Tax
最終更新日:2024年10月28日
Individuals who own a light motor vehicle, such as a scooter, motorcycle, or compact car (with yellow number plates) will be subject to the light vehicle tax if they own the vehicle on/before April 1 of that year. Even if you get rid of a light motor vehicle in the middle of a fiscal year, you have to pay one year’s worth of the tax and you will not be refunded. However, if you get a light motor vehicle in the middle of a fiscal year, you will not be taxed for it that fiscal year.

Special green tax system (smaller tax burden) for fuel efficient vehicles
The special green tax system is a smaller tax burden policy that is applied to new 3-wheeled and 4 or more-wheeled light vehicles with low emissions, fuel efficiency, and decreased environmental impact. These vehicles must also have received their first inspection during the period from April 1, 2022 to March 31, 2023. This special measure is applied to the light vehicle tax for fiscal year 2023.
