Denmark is one of the worst countries to own a classic car in. In fact, it is only in Luxembourg where there are worse conditions for these cars.
Back in 2020, the then government decided to change the car taxes. It also went beyond the vintage cars. Among other things in the form of increasing periodic tax. Four years later, the results show.
According to a new report, which English Limited100 is behind, the second worst country to own a classic car in is Denmark.
The company writes this in a press release .
In fact, the only thing that Denmark does well with is the number of fatal accidents. Compared to the other countries under investigation, fatal accidents on Danish roads are fortunately relatively few. Each year approximately 160 people die in traffic in this country.
But it is still far too expensive to both buy and maintain a classic car in Denmark. The roads in Denmark don't offer much for the Limited100 either.

What is perhaps more surprising is that a country like Switzerland, where all motorsport was banned between 1955 and 2022, is number 3 on the list. A country like Norway, where all cars over 20 years old are tax-free, lies just below the Alpine country.
Germany probably tops the list not so surprisingly. This is also where you find Europe's absolute largest car market in all parameters. Both when it comes to new – and in the case of classics – used cars.
Here at home, where conditions for classic cars place Denmark in 28th place out of 29 countries, both regular passenger cars and vintage cars will have to pay much more in periodic taxes over the next several years. Read much more about it here .
