Cyprus to modify discriminatory excise duty rules for imported second-hand motorcycles

The European Commission has formally requested Cyprus to amend its legislation on depreciation scales for the calculation of excise duties on second-hand motorcycles because the current rules discriminate against imported motorcycles. The Commission considers that the current legislation is in breach of EU rules on tax discrimination against products imported from other Member States. The request takes the form of a “reasoned opinion” (second step of the infringement procedure provided for in article 258 TFUE). In the absence of a satisfactory response within two months, the Commission may decide to refer Cyprus to the EU’s Court of Justice
