2% Additional Tax For Acquiring 'Second Vehicle' Can't Be Levied When First Vehicle Has Already Been Sold: Telangana High Court

Live Law  

The Telangana High Court recently set aside Moosarambagh RTO's direction imposing 2% additional tax on a resident's purchase of a Mahindra XUV 700 car by labelling it to be his 'second vehicle'. Justice Nagesh Bheemapaka clarified that the additional tax on a second vehicle is applicable only if an individual owns two vehicles at the time of registration of the new vehicle. However, when it approached the RTO to complete the registration process, he was informed that an additional tax is required to be paid since his new vehicle is a 'second vehicle' and as per provisions of the Telangana Motor Vehicles Taxation Act, an additional 2% tax was applicable for the second vehicle. Accordingly, the High Court directed the RTO concerned to register Petitioner's vehicle without insisting on an additional tax amount in addition to what has already been paid by him.
