## What the CO₂ levy (CO₂ tax) is

The Swiss **CO₂ levy** — German *CO₂-Abgabe*, French *taxe CO₂*, Italian *tassa CO₂*, English *CO₂ levy*, and colloquially the **CO₂ tax** — is a state-imposed charge designed to reduce CO₂ emissions from road vehicles. It falls due on the **first registration in Switzerland** of imported passenger cars and light commercial vehicles whose CO₂ emissions exceed the applicable annual **target value**. The amount depends on how far a vehicle's emissions exceed its individual target (which is a function of vehicle weight), so importing a low-emission car can even earn a payout rather than incur a charge.

CO2 Börse AG calculates the target value and the excess, pools vehicles to offset high- and low-emission imports, settles the CO₂ tax with the authorities on behalf of dealers, and pays a cash **CO₂ bonus** for fuel-efficient vehicles.

Key statutory figures referenced on the site (Switzerland):
- Automobile tax (Automobilsteuer): 4%
- VAT (MwSt): 8.1%
- CO₂ handling fee: CHF 50.–
- Light commercial vehicles (LCV): target value 153.9 g/km; sanction CHF 95 per gram of exceedance
- Target values are defined for the years 2025–2029; the 2026 reference weights and an inversion of the target curve are the main recent changes.
