The state expects petrol and diesel to fall in price per litre. Therefore, 1.1 million Danes do not get any help with higher road tax deductions.
The state expects that the direct cost of driving a car – i.e. petrol and diesel – will be cheaper in 2025. Therefore, it is better not to worry about the road tax deduction.
Specifically, the Tax Council maintains the rate for 2024 in the coming year. The council writes this in a press release .
As a result, Danish commuters who are employed still cannot deduct more than DKK 2.23 per day. kilometers to and from work.
What's worse, the crossing deduction absolutely does not cover all the kilometers that a commuter may have between home and work. It only comes into effect if, as a commuter, you drive more than 24 kilometers every day.
On the other hand, the Tax Council expects that everything else for cars will become more expensive from 1 January. In other words, there is inflation in it. Therefore, the traffic allowance is maintained at the current level.
The transport deduction has otherwise increased every year since 2021, when the rate was DKK 1.90 per kilometer. The increase, which is now being abolished, came after several years when the deduction had been greatly reduced.
For example, the rate fell continuously for six years between 2014 and 2020, when motorists had to hand over even more of their own money to the state.
The only thing that increases is actually the traffic compensation that drivers can get if they park their own car at an actual work traffic. Right now it is 3.79 kroner. But from 1 January 2025, the tax-free traffic allowance will be increased to DKK 3.81 per kilometer.
Even if the congestion tax does not increase or decrease, the state does come into fashion for motorists at one point. At least when it comes to leasing cars. Read more about it here .
