EVs get large deductions in 2026.
How this works Danish car registration tax (registreringsafgift) is tiered - roughly 25% up to about DKK 76,900 of value, 85% to about DKK 155,300, and 150% above - with a basic deduction of about DKK 25,500 and a CO2 surcharge on top. Electric cars get a large deduction (about DKK 165,000) and pay a reduced share in 2026. This is a simplified estimate excluding the CO2 surcharge; use Motorstyrelsen's official calculator for exact figures. See our owning a car guide.
