On 1 January, France tightened the rules for taxes paid when buying a new car. The weight threshold for heavy vehicles was decreased from 1.8 tonnes to 1.6 tonnes meaning this extra charge will be applied to most SUVs or 4x4s. It costs \u20ac10 per kilogram for vehicles up to 2.1 tonnes and \u20ac30 per kg for vehicles heavier than 2.1 tonnes.<\/p>\n<p>For most medium-sized SUVs, that could mean around \u20ac16,000 added to the upfront cost. A tax on buying polluting vehicles has also been extended with emissions limits lowered to cover most petrol cars. The surcharge starts at \u20ac50 and rapidly increases with higher emissions topping out at \u20ac60,000 for cars that emit 194 kilograms per kilometre. A cap of 50 per cent of the purchase price of the vehicles has also been removed which the government says specifically benefited very expensive and very polluting vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>France is hoping that higher taxes dissuade people from buying heavy SUVs which create more pollution and are more dangerous for pedestrians or cyclists in collisions.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2024\/01\/17\/higher-taxes-and-more-expensive-parking-how-is-france-cracking-down-on-suvs\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/6-453\/\">Higher taxes and more expensive parking: How is France cracking down on SUVs?<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,561,11869],"class_list":["post-124702","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-france","tag-suv"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124702","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=124702"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124702\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=124702"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=124702"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=124702"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
