24/04/2019 (Agence Europe) – The European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA) published on Wednesday 24 April a tax guide on tax practices applied to motor vehicles and fuels (unleaded and diesel) among the Member States of the European Union. Thus, not surprisingly, there are many differences between Member States. For example, VAT on the purchase of the vehicle varies from 17% in Luxembourg to 27% in Hungary. Registration tax also differs considerably, with some Member States taking as a basis for calculation the CO2 emission rate of the vehicle (Austria, Spain) where others are based on the engine capacity (Brussels region, Belgium) or on a fixed flat rate (Luxembourg, Estonia). The fuel tax also varies enormously from €363/1000 litres (Bulgaria) to €778/1000 litres (Netherlands). For the full study: https://bit.ly/2PpbcWn (PH)
