## FAQ

### Why the list price and not the purchase price?

German tax law uses the gross list price at first registration including extras, even if the car was bought used or at a discount.

### When does the 0.25% rule for EVs apply?

For pure electric cars with a gross list price up to €70,000. More expensive EVs are taxed at 0.5%.
