The updated model simplifies automobile taxation into a two-slab structure of 5 per cent and 18 per cent, with a special 40 per cent slab reserved for larger cars, SUVs, and premium motorcycles above 350 cc. Notably, the additional compensation cess that was levied on top of GST has now been scrapped. This reform means small cars (petrol up to 1,200 cc and diesel up to 1,500 cc) are taxed at 18 per cent, a significant reduction from the earlier 28 per cent. Larger vehicles, including SUVs above four metres with bigger engines, fall under the 40 per cent slab, which, despite the higher rate on paper, comes out to be cheaper than the previous 45–48 per cent effective tax including cess.
