In the heart, we are all environmentalists, in the car, we forget it. Heavy, strong models are becoming more and more popular. These produce much climate-damaging CO2.
in Order to act against it, and because it sees the climate objectives in the risk plans, the Federal government, to increase taxes for big cars.
In the best case drivers* * * * to increase the inside then on the more environmentally friendly variant. The Cabinet could approve the plans today. But what does the tax really?
consumption and CO2 exchange
count The most Important thing in advance: If you already have a car, you will no longer have to pay taxes. As of today, the new motor vehicle tax will apply only to the purchase of new cars, if you will, as planned, waved through.
The motor vehicle tax for new cars will in the future primarily on consumption and thus on CO2 emissions of cars based. It rises in six steps from 2 to 4 euros per gram of carbon dioxide per Kilometer. This means:
- Up to 95 grams of CO2 per kilometre: Everything remains the same and there is no surcharge.
- 96 to 115 grams: 2 Euro more
- 116 to 135 grams price: 2,20 Euro more
- 136 to 155 grams price: 2,50 Euro more
- 156 to 175 grams: € 2.90 more
- 176 to 195 grams: 3.40 euros and more
- About 196 grams: 4,00 Euro more
The idea behind it: If you buy in the future a climate-friendly car, You’ll pay less road tax than someone who opts for a model with high CO2 emissions. How had electric to remain free, cars for ten years of tax.
vehicle tax: So tax is 2021
After a huge tax increase but it’s not with other cars. According to calculations by the German Federal Ministry of Finance remains in the case of a gasoline engine with a displacement of 998 cubic centimeters and a CO2 emissions of 114 g/km, the tax rate will remain unchanged at 58 euros a year.
In the case of a petrol engine with 1498 cubic centimeters engine displacement and CO2 emissions of 145 g/km the tax increases slightly from 130 to 139 euros.
the more Expensive it is, however, in the case of large cars, For a Diesel with 2967 cubic centimeters and a CO2 emissions of 221 g/km 649 instead of 537 Euro in the future, due. For a Hybrid gasoline engine with an engine displacement of 2999 cubic centimeters and an output of 200 g/km then 340 instead of € 270 must be paid.
Special penalty taxes for PS-giant is not supposed to go. “The next time a regular car purchase, the choice without bans and punitive tax will fall on a product that meets the individual needs and at the same time, with regard to its emission potential for the requirement to reduce the climate-damaging CO2 emissions”, argued the Minister of Finance Scholz.
tax for an average car increases
the Reform of The car tax would mean that tax increases for the average new car. This is because new cars in Germany in the average CO2 emissions of 157 g/km.
to invest in this year, a new car, it could be worth double: on the one Hand because of the in the second half of the year, lower value-added tax(16 instead of 19 percent).
if on the Other hand, because of the lower road tax compared to 2020, the tax increase as planned. Finally, the increase in the tax applies to the entire life cycle of a vehicle. That is, the longer you drive the car, the higher the difference between the old and the new vehicle tax is.
conclusion
Only the buyer*numbers inside of really large vehicles could be as a result of the Reform of the vehicle tax noticeably more. What will get motorists*felt interior, however, really, is the already adopted CO2 surcharge on petrol and Diesel, the 2021 comes. As a result, the price of fuel increases by around 7 cents.
