Over the course of the summer, the Motor Authority has made several inspection visits to Denmark. Blue. in connection with Danmark Hurtigste Bil, DHB. Now almost every other motorist faces extra charges.
That motorists pay the fixed charges was in focus when the Motor Authority together with the police carried out checks at a number of events over the summer.
Especially in connection with Denmark's Fastest Car, DHB, Roskilde Festival and during week 29 in Skagen, many motorists were stopped.
A total of 107 choral trains were taken in for inspection. The results show that 50 motorists are now facing a possible charge. Some must pay the full registration fee.
The Danish Motor Agency's investigations must now determine whether the owners of the checked cars must pay additional fees, and in some cases it may be a full registration fee.
Claus Holm, deputy director of the Motor Authority, states in this connection in a press release that:

– The fact that almost every other motorist risks a subsequent charge shows that there is still reason to be present for checks in the summer landscape.
– Now the Motor Authority is investigating whether the owners of the cars should be charged, and whether some of the owners should pay the full registration fee for their car.
– The work has so far shown that eight choirs have paid too little in tax, and in these eight settled cases, collections have been issued for approx. DKK 820,000 in underpaid tax.”
The checks included various types of motor vehicles, including staff cars, lease cars, taxis and vans on yellow plates, which were used for private motor vehicles.
The rules for using vans on yellow plates are clear: Private traffic requires that a private use tax has been paid or that a day permit has been purchased. A day license gives permission to use a yellow-plate car for private traffic for up to 24 hours.
Among the stopped chore vehicles were also a number of foreign cars and lease cars. The Danish Motor Agency is now investigating several cases where foreigners living in Denmark shorted cars registered abroad.
As a starting point, foreign citizens who have had permanent residence in Denmark for at least 30 days must ensure that their choir uniforms are registered in the country.
The Danish Motor Agency emphasizes that these checks are part of their ongoing work. Together with the police, they carry out checks all over the country to ensure that the rules for car taxes are observed and that the correct tax is paid when using corrals on Danish roads.
