Private businesses may settle your vehicle registration tax
Certain private businesses offer to settle your vehicle registration tax. However, this does not apply to import of new vehicles, busses, camper vans or vintage cars.
These businesses usually charge you a fee. We are unable to recommend specific businesses.
3. Paying the additional vehicle registration tax
When we have calculated the vehicle registration tax, you can see our decision in E-tax (TastSelv) under ‘Motor’ (Motor vehicles) and ‘Meddelelser fra Motorregisteret’ (Messages from the Register of Motor Vehicles). If you do not have access to E-tax, you will receive our decision by regular post.
Please pay the vehicle registration tax via online banking. Payment information will be stated in our decision.
When we have recorded your payment of vehicle registration tax, the registration of your van will be changed in the register of motor vehicles. Your vehicle weight tax and tax on use of private vehicle will be adjusted from the date you pay the additional registration tax.
If you would like a new vehicle registration certificate, you can order one in the Register of Motor Vehicles. The price of a new registration certificate is DKK 100.
