Hyundai explores ways to pass on benefits of tax cut to customers
Live MintHyundai Motor India Ltd—the country’s second largest vehicle manufacturer—is exploring ways to pass on the benefit of the corporate tax reduction to potential customers. According to Vikas Jain, national sales head, Hyundai Motor India, after 20 September, enquiries from potential customers increased sharply and bookings of some of the vehicles rose by almost 50%. To revive consumption demand in the domestic market, the government had on 20 September reduced corporate tax rates from 30% to 22% to boost consumer demand and increase spending by private companies. Earlier, the Union government also mandated its departments to buy new vehicles to increase demand and also assured potential customers that BS-IV vehicles will be allowed to run for its entire registration period.
