These scenarios were calculated with the Autohaus Zwer calculator for delivery to Vienna. They show how CO2 value, first registration and vehicle type influence NoVA.
A young petrol car with a moderate CO2 value. NoVA is relevant here, but not the largest cost block next to the vehicle price.
Total cost incl. import
With a low official CO2 value, NoVA can be 0 Euro. In this example, the import cost mainly comes from transport, documents and service.

For powerful vehicles with high CO2 values, NoVA can significantly increase the import cost. This should be calculated before purchase.

The examples are snapshots from concrete listings. Prices, CO2 values, availability, transport costs and official assessment can change.
The calculator is intended for buyers who want to import a vehicle from Germany or another EU country to Austria and need a realistic cost estimate before purchase.
It uses the CO2 value, purchase price, first registration, fuel type, vehicle location and Austrian delivery location to estimate NoVA, transport, documents and service costs.
The result is an orientation based on the available vehicle data. It is not a binding authority assessment and can change if listing data is incomplete or incorrect.
When importing a car from Germany to Austria, the listing price alone is not enough. The relevant figure is the full cost until Austrian registration.
Typical cost items are NoVA, possible CO2 surcharge, insured transport, Austrian type certificate and import handling. For some vehicles, an inspection is also recommended.
The calculator displays these items separately so you can see whether the price advantage remains after NoVA, transport and documents.
Normverbrauchsabgabe (NoVA) is an Austrian tax due when a vehicle is registered in Austria for the first time. It applies to new cars and imported used vehicles from the EU.
The amount depends on CO2 emissions, net purchase price, first registration, fuel type and origin country. Fully electric vehicles are exempt; for used cars, the age reduction lowers the amount.
The WLTP CO2 value determines the NoVA percentage. Lower emissions mean lower tax.
The NoVA percentage is applied to the vehicle price excluding VAT.
The date determines the applicable legal rules and the age reduction for used cars.
Electric vehicles are exempt; petrol, diesel and hybrid vehicles are calculated from their values.
High CO2 values can trigger an additional surcharge.
The calculator automatically uses the applicable NoVA rules.
The Austrian registration tax based on vehicle data and legal rules.

Complete handling: purchase contract, NoVA filing, documents and authority procedures.
