So, the tax (import duty) is 150% ?
Wonder how the warranty works for used Teslas. Can Danes get them repaired at Danish service centers if it was bought in some other country?
It is not technically an import duty but a registration fee. So you can import a car any day, no problem. Just the second you get the plates, you need to pay.
Details on that here: SKAT: Registreringsafgift (in Danish from the Danish Tax authorities)
It is not a "straight" % but rather as per the following:
Personbiler | 105 % af afgiftsværdien op til 81.700 kr. og 180 % af resten |
You can do warranty in other service centres (e.g. in Germany) - the issue are loaners: if you live in DK and give your Danish Model S to the Hamburg Service Centre for service you may get an ICE loaner - of course with German plates. The probelme is, that you are not allowed to drive a foreign car in DK as a resident without risking to pay the full registration fee. This is to avoid people just registering their cars in Sweden or Germany and skipping the Danish registration costs. So you would need to stay outside DK with your German loaner until your own car is done.
