| Abstract: | Taxes and fees related to the registration, ownership and use of private cars are assessed differently across Europe, and their rates vary significantly. In the study presented in this report, the DIW Berlin analysed private-car taxes in 21 European countries. The annual taxes levied on specific types of cars differ across countries by a factor o up to four, while the various kinds of taxes levied account for extremely diverse shares of the entire car-related tax burden. Given the importance of taxation systems for market and competitive conditions, the European Commission is seeking to achieve reciprocal alignment of the various systems. Efforts to modify and harmonize taxation strategies face numerous obstacles and objections. |
