Understanding the CO₂ levy

The CO₂ levy on vehicle imports – we lower your costs

Passenger cars above 93.6 g CO₂/km and light commercial vehicles above 153.9 g/km are subject to the CO₂ levy – provided they count as new: first registered less than 6 months ago, or between 6 and 12 months old with less than 5'000 km. We handle it through our CO₂ pool, securing you a bonus for fuel-efficient vehicles and reduced rates for high-emission models.
