VAT deduction

Who qualifies for VAT deduction

Business buyers can recover the VAT (23%) under specific conditions. Below are the main cases where VAT is 100% or partially deductible on electric vehicles.

01 / 06

Companies — commercial N1

Any VAT-registered company fully deducts VAT on N1 light commercial vehicles. Examples: VW ID. Buzz Cargo, Mercedes Vito Electric, Renault Kangoo Z.E.

02 / 06

TVDE / Uber / Bolt / Taxi

Special exception in CIVA art. 21(2): TVDE operators and taxis fully deduct VAT on passenger vehicles (ex: Tesla Model Y, Kia Niro EV) when used in the business.

03 / 06

Rent-a-car and driving schools

Companies whose main activity is leasing or driver training deduct 100% of VAT — the vehicle is "stock for resale/rental", not fixed asset.

04 / 06

Liberal professionals and companies

Lawyers, consultants and doctors with registered activity can deduct partially if mixed use is justified. Advantageous on N1 and on BEVs below the fiscal cap of €62,500 (Ordinance 467/2010).

05 / 06

BEV fiscal cap: €62,500

Ordinance 467/2010 (updated by the State Budget) sets the maximum acquisition value for full deduction. BEV up to €62,500 or PHEV up to €50,000 — above this, the excess pays higher autonomous taxation.

06 / 06

What you need to bring

Business NIF with active VAT + registered activity (CAE) + invoice issued in the company name. We handle the invoice with discriminated VAT and the deduction report for your accountant.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ

Answers to the most common questions about car imports.

On average 3 to 5 weeks from the deposit to the vehicle being registered in Portugal. If we already have it available, 1 to 2 weeks for legalisation. Timeframes include verification, transport, CoC, ISV, IMT and registration.

Mostly Germany, Belgium, Netherlands and France — larger markets, with better prices and transparent history. We work with platforms like mobile.de and autoscout24 and with direct dealer contacts.

Yes, it's our main service. Tell us make, model, version, year, colour, budget and desired equipment — we search, verify and import to order in 3-6 weeks.

Always. We travel personally to the foreign dealership to inspect the mechanics, chassis, VIN, service history, certified mileage and history. We only sign after confirming the actual condition.

Between €10,000 and €25,000 compared to traditional Portuguese dealerships, depending on the model. An Audi e-tron, Mercedes EQE or Tesla Model Y are significantly cheaper when imported — even with ISV, IMT, CoC and transport included.

No. Fully electric vehicles (BEV) are ISV exempt under article 45 of the CIV. They also benefit from reduced annual road tax (practically €0) and can be accepted in some municipalities as green vehicles with preferential parking.

Conventional hybrids (HEV) pay 60% of ISV. Plug-in hybrids (PHEV) pay 25% of ISV if they simultaneously meet CO₂ ≤ 50 g/km and electric range ≥ 50 km — otherwise HEV rules apply. We simulate it for you free of charge.

For electric vehicles (BEV) it's practically €0. For hybrids and combustion it depends on displacement, year and CO₂ emissions — typically between €30 and €250 per year. We simulate the exact value before any commitment.

It's an official document from the manufacturer certifying that the vehicle complies with European standards. It's mandatory to register any EU-imported vehicle in Portugal. Since 5 July 2026, the digital eCOC replaces the paper format.

Prices starting at €149 for VAG brands (Audi, VW, Škoda, Seat, Porsche), €249-299 for BMW/Mercedes/Tesla, higher for exotic brands. Typical lead time 5 to 15 business days. See all brands in our CoC Store.

Typically 70-85% of the WLTP value in real mixed conditions. A Mercedes EQE 300 (641 km WLTP) does 500-580 real km in mixed use; an Audi e-tron 50 (341 km WLTP) does 270-320 km. Factors: speed, temperature, loads and AC.

Yes, in most cases. Batteries from premium manufacturers (Mercedes, Audi, BMW, Tesla) keep 90-100% state of health (SOH) at 4-5 years with normal use. We read the SOH via OBD before importing and tell you the exact value.

At home via wallbox (7-22 kW). On the public network via operators such as MOBI.E, Iberdrola, EDP, Galp Electric, Miio or Tesla Superchargers. We advise on solutions for home or building installation.

Yes, we import any fuel type: petrol, diesel, conventional hybrid and plug-in hybrid. The marketing focus is electric but we accept orders for any powertrain — just ask.

Yes, we accept trade-ins of any fuel type — electric, hybrid, petrol or diesel. We appraise your car and offset the value against the new one. We can also list your car through our channels to find a direct buyer.

Yes, we work with an external financial partner specialised in auto loans. It compares multiple entities (Cofidis, Cetelem, 321 Crédito, traditional banks) and you receive multiple quotes — APR, terms up to 120 months, monthly payment — with no commitment.

We comply with the legal warranty of Decree-Law no. 84/2021 — 3 years for new vehicles and 3 years (reducible to 18 months by agreement) for used ones. The warranty covers conformity defects; it does not cover normal wear or misuse.

The vehicle is covered by the legal warranty and any additional manufacturer warranty still in force. Dedicated support via WhatsApp/phone and referral to the manufacturer's official network or partner workshops.

Rua do Ribeiro 329, 4520-307 Fornos, Santa Maria da Feira (Aveiro) — 5 minutes from the A1/A29. By appointment only to guarantee dedicated time for you. We also deliver to your address across mainland Portugal.
