This figure depicts the tax burden in European countries for various car types, considering taxes from acquisition, ownership, and energy over a ten-year period of private ownership. The base price of the vehicle is assumed to be consistent across all countries, although this may vary in reality based on the specific car model. While the figure shows the VAT paid alongside the car price, it is not included in the total tax burden calculation, which only accounts for car-specific taxes.
