Automotive Taxation

Optimization of Vehicle Taxes and Penalties

Are you looking to purchase, register, or own a vehicle in an international context? AutoGlobal Advisory analyzes your situation to identify a compliant tax and administrative solution, tailored to your residence, your project, and the actual use of the vehicle. The objective is not to circumvent the rules, but to choose the right structure before purchase or registration.

The Solutions

Which Solution According to Your Situation?

Each case depends on several criteria: your tax residence, the country of vehicle purchase, its place of use, its value, its emission level, its ownership structure, and whether or not a company exists.

You Are a European Tax Resident

We examine options to legally reduce costs related to the purchase, registration, penalties, or ownership of the vehicle, while complying with the applicable rules in your country of residence.

You Are a Non-European Tax Resident

We analyze international structuring possibilities according to the country of residence, the country of vehicle use, and the conditions for circulation in Europe.

You Wish to Establish a Company

An offshore company may be considered when the project presents genuine economic rationale: automotive commercial activity, asset holding, investment, vehicle management, or cross-border project.

In this case, the choice of jurisdiction must be consistent with your activity, your travel, your tax obligations, and the actual substance of the structure.

Solutions Examined by AutoGlobal Advisory

Andorra

Andorra may be relevant for cross-border commuters, entrepreneurs in southern France, individuals with a project to establish residence or create a company in the Principality, or those who travel there regularly for professional purposes.

The Principality offers attractive taxation, with an IGI, the local equivalent of VAT, at a general rate of 4.5%.

This choice must, however, be based on a genuine connection with Andorra: residence, activity, company, professional travel, or establishment project.

Slovakia

Slovakia may meet the needs of certain European Union residents seeking a cost-controlled European solution for the registration and circulation of their vehicle.

Depending on the structure and level of activity, corporate taxation may vary, with differentiated rates according to taxable income.

This option may be examined for projects requiring simple administrative organization, European registration, and remote management when the case permits.

Germany

Germany may be of interest to clients seeking European registration in a country strongly associated with the automotive sector.

The standard German VAT is 19%, and the country has a particularly structured automotive market, notably for the purchase, resale, and valuation of certain vehicles.

This solution may suit projects where image, future resale, access to the German market, or automotive coherence of the case are important criteria.

Commercial Company or Asset Holding Company?

Commercial Purpose Company

This structure concerns projects with genuine activity: purchase, sale, rental, fleet management, importation, automotive services, or professional vehicle operation.

It must be justified by coherent activity, identifiable flows, and organization compliant with the obligations of the country concerned.

Asset Holding or Tax Optimization Company

This approach concerns projects for holding, managing, or investing in one or more vehicles.

It requires more detailed analysis, particularly regarding the beneficiary's residence, vehicle use, applicable taxation, reporting obligations, and reclassification risks.

Why Entrust Your Case to AutoGlobal Advisory?
