How the calculation works
Vehicles with a historic (H) registration plate — at least 30 years old and preserved in largely original condition — aren't taxed by displacement or CO₂, but at a fixed annual rate: €191.73 for cars, €46.02 for motorcycles and trailers (§ 9 (1) No. 2c KraftStG).
The H-plate is granted after a classic-vehicle inspection (§ 23 StVZO) by TÜV or DEKRA and must then be applied for at the registration office.
This calculator provides a non-binding estimate based on current KraftStG rates. The legally binding tax amount is set by your local Hauptzollamt.
