The Federal Environment Agency of Germany certifies the CO2 reduction through e-mobility in the form of a certificate. This is available to both private and commercial owners of a purely electrically powered vehicle (BEV) with a German registration certificate. The CO2 certificate can subsequently be sold to a mineral oil company, which in turn takes the savings into account for the payment. You are thus supporting the decarbonisation of the transport sector. An opt-out is not entirely possible, as the federal government reserves the right to sell the certificates itself if not enough e-mobilists take advantage of the mechanism.
Currently, the GHG quota can only be traded in Germany. This means that your e-car must be registered in Germany.
Austria is following, but the new fuel ordinance stipulates that the Federal Environment Agency will not issue certificates for quotas until 2024. As soon as the information about the process and the amount of the GHG premium is known, we will let you know. We are currently working at full speed to prepare an offer for Austria.
No, you can have the proceeds from your GHG quota paid out annually. If you get your GHG quota through us, we will remind you to upload your vehicle registration document next year.
In 2022, we can offer you €385 per registered electric car in Germany ( precondition is the completed application from launch until 13.2.2023 at the latest in the neoom APP in the GREEN skill). For 2023, the ePremium in Germany is currently 300€.
For Austria, we are working at full speed on a solution for our customers.
These statutory compulsory levies by the mineral oil industry are due every year. The prices that oil companies pay per certificate depend on supply and demand and therefore fluctuate.
At neoom, we believe that the effectiveness of the GHG quota as a management tool will only be fully realised if the proceeds are also invested in the reduction of greenhouse gases. In order to ensure that you are not at the beginning of your carbon footprint again by selling your GHG quota and driving a car with a combustion engine, we offer you the possibility to invest as much of your premium as you want in climate protection projects. In this way, you use the money of the mineral oil companies and create real change. With your impact contribution, CO2 is extracted from the atmosphere in the most modern way and you support projects that avoid future CO2 emissions. You have the choice to double the carbon impact!
The GHG quota may only be claimed once per e-car and year. Since this is a lump sum payment in Germany, you may of course keep the amount paid out, even if you sell your e-car. However, if you subsequently buy a car with a combustion engine instead of a new e-car, you can no longer have the GHG quota paid out.
In Austria, an aliquot payment is made based on the registration date of the vehicle, i.e. if you sell your car and are registered as the vehicle owner from 04 March 2023, you are entitled to the aliquot ePremium 2023 until 03 March 2023.
No. Since this is a flat-rate value per e-car, you do not have to document anything additional.
If you are registered as the owner in the vehicle registration certificate, it is possible. Companies can also register the e-cars in their fleet.
No, it is sufficient if you are the registered vehicle owner in the vehicle registration certificate.
In Germany, a nationwide publication was issued by the Rhineland-Palatinate State Tax Office on 10.05.2022. According to this publication, the GHG quota of privately owned vehicles does not have to be taxed. The generally applicable tax regulations are applied to the GHG quota of business vehicles. neoom is not authorised to provide tax advice. Therefore, please consult your tax advisor regarding your business vehicles.
As the implementation of the GHG quota in Austria is still quite young, there are currently no empirical values or more detailed information available. With regard to the taxation of the GHG quota, each neoom APP GREEN user is basically responsible. neoom is not authorised to provide tax advice. Therefore, please consult your tax advisor regarding your business vehicles.
