CO₂ levy

CO₂ bonus: we reward fuel-efficient vehicles

Benefit from an attractive immediate cash payout when importing a low-CO₂ car. The state offers you no reward – CO2 Börse AG offers attractive cash payouts with no limit. The number of vehicles imported per year does not matter.

Why does CO2 Börse AG pay a bonus?

Fuel-efficient vehicles relieve the CO2 Börse AG CO₂ pool: they offset the emissions of high-CO₂ vehicles. We pass this advantage on to you directly as a bonus. For repeat importers, the bonus effectively amounts to a refund of the CO₂ levy.

How to check your bonus eligibility

The bonus depends on your vehicle's weight (COC item 13.2) and combined CO₂ emissions (COC item 49). With our online calculator, you can check in seconds whether your vehicle is below the target value and therefore eligible for a bonus. We quote the bonus amount during the handling – including VAT, plus fees for the IVI homologation or the import confirmation.

How to receive the payout

Send us the following documents by post to CO₂ Börse AG, Büelrainstrasse 15a, 8400 Winterthur. Processing takes 3–5 days:

  • Formular 13.20 A
  • CoC / EC certificate of conformity
  • Swiss customs receipt
  • Foreign vehicle registration document
  • Current mileage

Most important condition

The vehicle must be registered in the same calendar year in which it is assigned to CO2 Börse AG. If a vehicle is not registered in the same year, CO2 Börse AG reserves the right to reclaim bonuses already paid out or to charge CO₂ levies again.
