Kazakhstan plans to implement zero tax rate on scrapped electric vehicles

According to a report in italics on May 18, Kazakhstan's vice minister of industry and infrastructure development, sergelova, said at the media briefing that the Ministry was working out a law to implement zero tax rate on the scrapping of electric vehicles produced and imported in Kazakhstan, and was currently consulting with relevant departments.

At present, countries around the world are making different plans to stimulate the production and purchase of electric vehicles.
