Diesel: Hubraum (in angefangenen 100 ccm) x 9,50 EUR. 2. CO2-Komponente calculate: CO2-Ausstoss in g/km abzueglich 95 g/km tax allowance. Die darueber liegenden Gramm werden stufenweise besteuert: bis 115 g/km: 2,00 EUR/g. 116-135 g/km: 2,20 EUR/g. 136-155 g/km: 2,50 EUR/g. 156-175 g/km: 2,90 EUR/g. 176-195 g/km: 3,40 EUR/g. ueber 195 g/km: 4,00 EUR/g. 3.

Hubraum: 15 angefangene 100 ccm x 2 EUR = 30 EUR. CO2 ueber tax allowance: 131 - 95 = 36 g. Davon 20 g x 2,00 EUR = 40 EUR und 16 g x 2,20 EUR = 35,20 EUR. CO2-Komponente: 75,20 EUR. vehicle tax (Kfz-tax): 30 + 75,20 = 105,20 EUR pro year. Zum Vergleich: Ein Diesel-SUV mit 1.968 ccm und 160 g/km zahlt ca. 317 EUR/year.

VW Golf 1.5 TSI Benziner, 1.498 ccm, 131 g/km CO2. Hubraum: 15 x 2 EUR = 30 EUR. CO2: 20 g x 2,00 + 16 g x 2,20 = 75,20 EUR. vehicle tax (Kfz-tax): 105,20 EUR/year.
