Deputies of the Supreme Council of Khakassia voted by a majority to amend the regional law on transport tax. The changes set the tax at zero for owners of vehicles powered exclusively by electric motors.
The republic’s parliament says the measure is intended to boost interest in cleaner transport and make it more accessible and popular. The legislation describes the tax break as a way to encourage demand for and use of electric vehicles charged only from an external power source, and to support the development of related infrastructure.
Electric car owners in the republic had previously been exempt from transport tax through the end of 2025. The earlier benefit covered one Russian-made vehicle powered exclusively by an electric motor, provided the taxpayer submitted its vehicle passport to the tax authority.
