Understanding the New GST Rules for Used EVs The government has recently changed the GST rates for used vehicles, including EVs. Let's break down what this means for you, using a simple auto-rickshaw example that we all understand. What's Changed? The GST rate on the margin made on selling used vehicles has increased from 12% to 18%. But what does this really mean for your pocket? Let's analyze a typical transaction where Ram wants to buy a used electric auto-rickshaw worth ₹1,50,000 from a Used Auto Dealer. Base Scenario (Before GST Change) Purchase Price: ₹1,50,000 Dealer's Margin: ₹15,000 (10%) GST Rate: 12% on margin (₹1,800) Final Selling Price: ₹1,66,800 New Scenario (After GST Change to 18%) With the increased GST rate, dealers have three options: Option 1: Pass the Cost to Buyer Purchase Price: ₹1,50,000 Dealer's Margin: ₹15,000 (10%) New GST (18%): ₹2,700 Final Selling Price: ₹1,67,700 Impact: Buyer pays ₹900 more Option 2: Pass the Cost to Seller Target Seller Price: ₹1,66,800 (original) Dealer's Margin: ₹15,000 (10%) New GST (18%): ₹2,700 Required Purchase Price: ₹1,49,100 Impact: Seller gets ₹900 less Option 3: Reduce Dealer Margin Purchase Price: ₹1,50,000 Reduced Margin: ₹14,100 (9.4%) New GST (18%): ₹2,538 Final Selling Price: ₹1,66,800 Impact: Dealer absorbs ₹900 impact For Dealers they can either: Absorb the extra 6% GST (reducing their earnings) Share the burden with buyers and sellers Did you know? Some of the used 3 wheeler vehicle sales happen directly between buyers and sellers (peer-to-peer), where this GST change doesn't apply. Whereas the most of the sales happen through dealers, where this new rate matters. Typically dealer margin is [7-12]%. Looking forward while this change might seem challenging, the future of EVs remains bright. The lower running costs and increasing charging infrastructure continue to make EVs a smart choice for commercial use. Also, now you can secure the best returns on your EV investment through Vidyut's specialized resale platform. We've built a trusted network of verified buyers and maintain real-time market analytics to help you maximize your resale value.
