/ DANGDI / DANGDI / DANGDI /Buying or leasing an electric car in Denmark will remain cheaper for another year. The Danish government agreed to extend the registration tax discount for electric vehicles.
Climate Minister Samira Nawa announced the decision during negotiations over the 2027 Finance Act. The government dropped a plan to lower the tax exemption threshold.
The threshold was set to drop from 420,000 Danish kroner to 366,000 Danish kroner in 2027. Dropping the change keeps higher-priced electric cars lower in tax. The proposed increase would have raised 800 million Danish kroner for the state.
Mobility Denmark welcomed the decision. Managing Director Mads Rørvig called it a victory for the green transition. Minister Nawa acknowledged the government did not calculate the exact climate impact. However, she hopes keeping the discount encourages green choices.
Media outlets report the government may also lower petrol and diesel taxes by two Danish kroner for one year. Financing details for the lost revenue will appear in the 2027 Finance Act. Source: CPH Post.
