Computed for the 45 TFSI quattro 252 hp, as it left the showroom: list price €55,000, first registered in 2024. Inside the EU there is no duty and no VAT on a used car, so what is left is the registration tax each country charges — and in most of them that figure does not depend on the price at all.

Spain, Austria and Switzerland charge a percentage of the value, and six more countries charge on a valuation of their own — for those the figure moves with the price. Everywhere else it is fixed by CO₂, power or weight.
It depends entirely on where you register it. For the 45 TFSI quattro 252 hp the table above runs from Sweden — nothing to Denmark — €66,036. The calculator below takes your own year, price and country.
