Is there registration tax on plug-in hybrids in Denmark?

A smaller discount than for electric cars.

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

Yes, plug-in hybrids pay registration tax in Denmark, with a smaller reduction than fully electric cars. They count as low-emission cars, which get a deduction of 43,000 kr. in the tax in 2026, down from 45,000 kr. in 2025. Of the calculated tax, only 68 % is paid in 2026, against 65 % in 2025. The tax itself follows the normal scale for passenger cars: 25 %, 85 % and 150 % of the value in three steps.
