Free car taxation
When a company leases a car for an employee, the employee is taxed. This is also the case if the company buys the car. The tax is calculated from the car's acquisition price. This is what we refer to as the car's tax base.
You have to pay taxes of 22,5% of the car's value. In addition you have to pay an environmental fee. This is a tax on company cars which must be paid to the state. The amount consists of the car's green ownership tax, which is multiplied by a state-specified rate. Per 2025 this rate is 700%. If you need help finding out what the environmental fee is on your future company car, you are always welcome to contact one of our advisers.
After 36 months the car's tax base decreases by 25%, which becomes the new tax base. You have to pay taxes of 22,5% of the car's new tax base (note: Only on contracts originally lasting a minimum of 48 months).
