The latest survey by the Institute for Social Research shows that 76 percent of people do not support the car tax and 19 percent do.
The government wants to introduce a motor vehicle tax in Estonia from 2025, and the corresponding draft passed the first reading in the Riigikogu this month. The introduction of the car tax is strongly opposed by the opposition, and in its current form, the car tax has also caused disagreements in the coalition. In the latest survey of social research, it was investigated what people’s opinion is about the car tax at the moment.
On the topic of car tax, the respondents were asked how they feel about the introduction of car tax in Estonia. 76 percent answered “do not support” or “rather not support”, 19 percent “rather support” or “support” and five percent said “can’t say”.
Supporters of the car tax are in the majority only among Reform Party voters, of whom 62 percent support and 31 percent do not support the car tax
