kun ostat hybridi tai sähköauton. $2000-$4000 saat vähentää tuloista. On se uskomatonta. Ja Suomessa levitetään propagandaa Amerikasta että eivät saasteille yritä mitään. Kannattaa lukea ei-suomalaisia uutisia, että saa todellisen kuvan.
Suomessa saat maksaa dieselveroa jos ostat sähköauton. Kiitos Kuitunen, palaa helvetissä.
Ja tässä faktat:
"Cut emissions and your tax bill
Wednesday March 9, 6:00 am ET

Green could have a double meaning for environmentally conscious motorists at
tax time.
Owners of the increasingly fashionable hybrids can write off $2,000 of the
purchase price for these vehicles, which combine an electric motor with a
gasoline-powered engine to produce fewer emissions. This should give the
many Hollywood stars who own such environment-friendly autos slightly lower
tax bills.
Of course, the tax break isn't limited to the rich and famous. Any driver
who opts for an auto that the Internal Revenue Service has deemed eligible
for the clean-burning-fuel tax deduction can write off some of the vehicle's
cost. This includes not only the popular hybrid models, but also vehicles
that operate on natural gas, liquified natural gas, liquified petroleum gas,
hydrogen or any other fuel that's at least 85 percent alcohol.
And drivers of these various gas-saving vehicles got some more good news
last fall. The write-off was scheduled to be scaled back to $1,500 in 2004,
but provisions in a new tax law enacted last October postpone the phaseout
until 2006. So if you bought a hybrid or any other clean-fuel vehicle last
year, you can claim the full credit on your current return.
Most taxpayers eligible for this credit are hybrid owners. To help them know
if their car is OK to claim, the IRS annually certifies hybrids that meet
deduction standards. This year, a domestic auto maker joins the list that
has been dominated by Japanese manufacturers:
Ford Escape Hybrid, model year 2005,
Toyota Prius, model years 2001 through 2005,
Honda Insight, model years 2000 through 2005,
Honda Civic Hybrid, model years 2003 through 2005, and
Honda Accord Hybrid, model year 2005.
Another nice thing about the tax break is that it's claimed directly on Form
1040. You do have to file that longest form, but there's no Schedule A to
complete or income thresholds to meet. Simply enter the amount on line 35 of
the 1040 and write "Clean Fuel" on the adjacent dotted line.
Some write-off restrictions
There are some limits, however. It's a one-time deduction, not one you can
take each year for as long as you own the car.
Plus, only the car's original purchaser can claim the tax break. So while
your pre-owned Prius may still save the ozone layer, it won't save you on
your taxes.
Finally, you must take the deduction in the year you put it on the road. If
you bought it after Jan. 1, then it won't do you any tax good until you
claim the environmentally friendly car break on your 2005 return (due by
April 15, 2006).
What if you were an eco-pioneer, buying a hybrid years ago, but you
neglected to claim the deduction on the appropriate tax return? All may not
be lost. You might be able to claim the deduction on an amended tax return.
Generally, you can file an amended return within three years of your
original filing date, including extensions you were granted. So if you
bought an eligible hybrid vehicle in 2001 but didn't claim it on the return
you filed in 2002, check into whether refiguring that year's return could
get you some tax money back.
Going greener to get a bigger tax break
Most clean-fuel eligible motorists will use the deduction because they drive
hybrids. But owners of fully electric vehicles get an even better break: a
tax credit up to $4,000.
The hybrid deduction allows you to reduce your taxable income, which
generally produces a smaller tax bill when all the figuring is done. But
with a tax credit, once you determine what you owe, the credit will directly
cut your tax bill, possibly even wiping out any taxes you owe.
To qualify for the credit, your new auto must run primarily on an electric
motor powered by rechargeable batteries, fuel cells or other portable
electric-current sources. The IRS cautions that hybrid vehicles, because
they do not depend chiefly on electricity, are not eligible for this better
tax break.
By filing Form 8834, a purchaser of an electric car can claim a credit of 10
percent of the auto's cost, up to a maximum of $4,000. Be sure to transfer
the credit amount from that form to line 54 of your Form 1040, check box "c"
and write in the form number.
Limited time offer for cleaner driving
If you just don't have the cash now for a "green" car, you'll get more
environmental write-off chances in coming tax years, but just a couple more
years and at lower tax savings. Congressional action last October only
postponed the phasing out of these automotive tax breaks.
The 2005 tax year is the last for the full $2,000 hybrid auto deduction. The
tax break will drop to $500 in 2006 and disappear in 2007.
Electric auto owners will be eligible for the $4,000 tax credit again this
year, but the break is only $1,000 in 2006. As with the clean-fuel
deduction, the electric car credit is scheduled to end in 2007."

Jenkkilä taitaa olla ylivoimaisesti suurin saastuttaja maailmassa, joten siinä mielessä hyvää suuntausta - vaikkakin kokonaisuuden kannalta vielä kosmeettista tässä vaiheessa.
vähentää autoilun aiheuttamaa saastumista niin he laittaisivat polttoaineeseen ainakin puolet siitä verosta joka on Euroopassa. Sittenkin löpö olisi halpaa.
Ihmiset eivät tunnu ymmärtävän asiaa. Puhutaan että lisätään polttoaineen hintaa siis veroja.
Mitäs perkeleen väliä sillä on paljonko se maksaa koska tietyllä aika jänteellä kaikki kuitenkin käytetään maksoi se mitä tahansa. Niin kauan kun öljyä pumpataan suht edullisesti niin ok, sitten kun hinta nousee kaikki muukin kallistuu - valtamerirahdit, lentoliput, lämmityksenhinta jne.
Ei tuossa ole voittajia, öljy käytetään loppuun maksoi mitä maksoi, siksi nyt sitä pitäisi käyttää halvalla vielä kun voi. kyllä se aika koittaa että se maksaa 4 euroa litra ja voit vain arvailla ketkä silloin ajavat, ei ainakaan suomalaiset eikä persaukiset.
Tämä on fakta.
ps mihis ne ympäristöverot sitten käytetään, ei ole ainakaan suomessa paljon ekotekoja näkynyt.
Lappi hakataan ja puut kasvaa siellä varmaan 150 vuotta kaatokuntoon, joten meistä 3-4 sukupolvi näkee siellä taas arktista metsää.
Systeemi ei toimi noin, raha pitää korvamerkitä jos sitä kerätään jollakin ekovero tms nimikkeellä.
