I just got an email with the 2008 prices for cars in my country. It's a tough place to be a car fanatic!

The car prices in Denmark have reached a level where citizens in this EU Country cannot afford to transport their families in a decent safe and environmentally friendly car anymore.

wtf dude?? WHY IS THE PRICE ON EVEN LOW END CARS SO CRAZY?!?!? That is nuts. Are you allowed to go to another nearby country and purchase a car and drive it over the border? Taxes must be a mudafuka over there. Sorry to hear that.

No Danes are allowed to drive a car on foreign plates in Denmark and if you want a car registrered in DK you need to pay 180% tax or more

[01mmmz28]

^why?

I'm sure people have been ready to kill the elected leaders for that kind of taxation. why have they not changed it or why is the tax rate on cars so crazy?

[EVILZ33]

shit bro the only thing i can suggest is...move some place else

[HKSevo]

whats the average annual income per household or per person in Denmark???

[bmxer99]

Annual hh income av before tax (2005)
DKK 380.700 £36.747 $74.794

Net hh income av after taxes (2005)
DKK 252.000 £24.324 $49.509

Denmark has a graduated taxation. That means that the more one earns, the more tax one pays. There is, however, a tax ceiling of 59% of ones income.

I pay 47% of my income in tax

[HKSevo]

damn that sucks


u should move outta there asap

[bmxer99]

wow that place is ****ed up. i thought usa taxed high

[Nortad]

Buy elsewhere in UE. I´ve heard that you can easely fake your residence elsewere in europe in oerder to escape car taxes. Not long ago I saw Topgear episode where they showed that it was cheaper to buy a Rover 25 abroad than that in the UK and still drive it all the way to UK and register it.
