COM 2005 261 Proposal for a Directive on passenger car related taxes |
Proposal for a Directive on passenger car related taxes
Abstract
The operation of 25 different tax systems for passenger cars within the EU has resulted in tax obstacles such as double taxation, tax-induced cross-border transfer of cars, distortions and inefficiencies, which impede the proper functioning of the Internal Market.
The purpose of the current proposal is two-fold: to improve the functioning of the
Internal Market and to implement the Community's strategy to reduce CO2 emissions from passenger cars. The proposal does not intend to introduce any new passenger car related taxes,
but only aims at restructuring such taxes if they are applied by Member States, without
obliging them to introduce such taxes.
