In August ECG – The Association of European Vehicle Logistics has published a briefing paper on the substantial new CO2 tax proposed by the federal government to be included in Germany’s road tolls from 1 December 2023.
We would like to inform you that on 20 October the German Parliament has passed the law on the introduction of the new CO2 tax as proposed by the federal government and confirmed the entry into force from 1 December 2023.
We invite you to read our paper which we published in August 2023 and updated now to reflect the fact that the CO2 emissions tax is confirmed. The paper provides a summary of the proposed changes to road tolls (Lkw-MAUT) and, specifically, on the introduction of a CO2 emissions tax. The purpose is to inform ECG members and other actors in the vehicle logistics sector about these changes. As a result of the proposed legislation governing road tolls in Germany, road taxes will increase significantly for logistics companies operating in Germany, or transiting the country, starting from 1 December 2023.
