German Vehicle Tax — KraftStG
Vehicle tax (Kraftfahrzeugsteuer) is collected by the Main Customs Office (Hauptzollamt) for every vehicle registered in Germany (§ 1 KraftStG). Calculation depends on vehicle type, fuel, engine displacement, CO₂ emissions, and date of first registration.
Cars Registered After July 1, 2009
Tax consists of two components (§ 9 para. 1 no. 2b KraftStG):
- Displacement component: €2.00/100 cc (petrol) or €9.50/100 cc (diesel)
- CO₂ component: Progressive tiers from 95 g/km — €2.00/g/km (up to 115 g/km) to €4.00/g/km (above 195 g/km)
Electric Vehicles — Tax Exemption
Pure EVs first registered before December 31, 2025 are exempt from vehicle tax for 10 years (§ 3d KraftStG). After that, weight-based taxation applies. Plug-in hybrids are not exempt.
