New rules will require electric vehicle owners to report their annual mileage as part of a tax adjustment system, aiming to ensure fairer contributions based on actual usage rather than fixed rates. The policy shift targets high-mileage drivers who may currently benefit from lower tax liabilities under the existing flat-rate scheme.

The move follows broader efforts to reform vehicle taxation amid rising adoption of electric cars.
