On July 1, 2025, the Jordanian government issued new policies on automobile imports.

Under the new measures, the government will reduce the overall and special tax burden on various types of vehicles.

1. The tax rate for gasoline-powered vehicles will be reduced from 71% to 51%, a reduction of 28%.
2. The tax rate for hybrid vehicles will be reduced from 60% to 39%, a reduction of 35%.
3. The special tax on electric vehicles will be unified at a national rate of 27%, regardless of the value or category of the vehicle.

The new decision stipulates strict vehicle import standards to meet international safety and quality standards. According to the latest regulations, cars, electric vehicles, and hybrid vehicles must comply with one of the technical specifications recognized by Europe, the United States (Cooperation Council) GCC or Arabia.
