Last week Tesla scored a 10% purchase tax exemption in China, but customers there aren't sure if it applies to them.
Tesla is the first foreign manufacturer to receive this type of tax exemption in China without having a local joint venture partner.customers in China are scrambling to figure out if they can get a refund after the electric car company scored a tax break from the government there last week.
China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said that dozens of battery-electric and plug-in hybrid vehicle makers qualified for the tax break. That list includes Toyota and Daimler, which have local partners, along with domestic companies like Geely, Guangzhou Auto, NIO and SAIC Motor. Some customers in China complained that Tesla should have warned them that a tax exemption may be possible, so they could have delayed purchases and qualified for the deal. But Zhu Xiaotong, Tesla's China head, told the state-sponsoredthat Tesla China couldn't make information about its application for the exemption public.
"The MIIT announcement was written with lots of ambiguity as to who benefits from the inclusion of Tesla" on the exempt list, wrote Junheng Li, the CEO of JL Warren Capital, in an email to CNBC. "Consumers want clarity from the government, not from Tesla China."
