2018 WWW.ACEA.BE Foreword The 2018 edition of the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association’s annual Tax Guide provides an overview of specific taxes that are levied on motor vehicles in European countries, as well as in other key markets around the world. This comprehensive guide counts more than 300 pages, making it an indispensable tool for anyone interested in the European automotive industry and relevant policies. The 2018 Tax Guide contains all the latest information about taxes on vehicle acquisition (VAT, sales tax, registration tax), taxes on vehicle ownership (annual circulation tax, road tax) and taxes on motoring (fuel tax). Besides the 28 member states of the European Union, as well as the EFTA countries (Iceland, Norway and Switzerland), this Tax Guide also covers countries such as Brazil, China, India, Japan, Russia, South Korea, Turkey and the United States. The Tax Guide is compiled with the help of the national associations of motor vehicle manufacturers in all these countries. I would like to extend our sincere gratitude to all involved for making the latest information available for this publication.

VAT is levied on the effective invoice price. It is possible to deduct the VAT (through input VAT) on the purchase of commercial vehicles for professional use. Except for certain exemptions, such as cars for driving schools and taxis, deductions are not allowed for passenger cars and combination cars (Kombinationswagen). Since 1 January 2016 a deduction of VAT (through input VAT) is also applicable for zero-CO2 emission passenger cars (eg electric vehicles and hydrogen-powered cars). 1.2 FUEL CONSUMPTION/POLLUTION TAX 1.2.1 Calculation of fuel consumption/pollution tax Fuel consumption/pollution tax (Normverbrauchausgabe – NoVA) is levied on the purchase price (net) or commercial leasing fee of new passenger cars and motorcycles and on passenger cars and motorcycles not yet registered nationally.
