Vehicle Tax Reduction for People with Disabilities
Two reduction levels
A full exemption (100%) applies to owners with the H, aG, or Bl markings on their severe disability ID card. A 50% reduction is available with the G or Gl marking, provided the holder waives free local public transport.
The application is filed informally with the relevant Hauptzollamt, along with a copy of the disability ID card and, where applicable, its supplementary sheet.

Frequently asked questions
Does the reduction apply to just one vehicle?
Yes, it's tied to a person and generally to one registered vehicle used predominantly for their transport.
Can I combine the tax reduction with free public transport?
No, with the G/Gl marking you must choose between free transport and the 50% tax reduction.
