Registration tax
Registration tax is paid once in the vehicle's lifetime in Denmark. It is not paid again if the vehicle is sold.The registration tax for a car is 105% of the taxable value up to DKK 106,600 in 2017 (DKK 104,300 for the period of 22nd November - 31st December 2016) and 150% of the rest.
This tax is calculated once all the registration documents have been submitted to SKAT. The decision concerning the valuation of the vehicle is then sent to the owner of the vehicle. A deposit for the registration tax is paid when registering the vehicle. The owner must allow for a change in this amount once the vehicle has been valued.
