Economy cars are a priority for imports, but in case costlier cars are imported, they will be subjected to the luxury car tax, the Ministry of Industries, Mines and Agriculture has announced.
However, given the fact that the final price of imported cars will be 120-140% higher than the initial price and they will be subjected to the luxury car tax, it becomes obvious that none of the imported cars would be considered an economy car.
In an interview with Donyaye Khodro, Morteza Afqeh, an economic analyst, said as per import regulations, the import of cars with a maximum price of €20,000 are permitted, although those priced under €10,000 are considered economy cars and enjoy import priority.
“It will be Iran Mercantile Exchange’s responsibility to set the prices of imported cars,” he added.
