Computed for the 530i 252 hp first registered in 2018, at its list price when new, €58,000. The year is not decoration: half of Europe reads it straight off the registration certificate, so this is not the model’s figure — it is this year’s.

What the year changes

Ukraine is shown at the full 10% duty, because these pages do not know where each car was built — and the relief turns on that, not on where it is bought. A car built in the EU and sold with an EUR.1 pays no duty 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.
