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.
