The vehicle registration authority provides information on the amendment to the Motor Vehicle Tax Act

The Second Traffic Tax Amendment Act (2. VerkehrStÄndG) amended, among other things, Section 5 of the Motor Vehicle Tax Act (KraftStG). Before this amendment came into force, the obligation to pay motor vehicle tax in accordance with Section 5 (5) KraftStG ended when the vehicle was sold with the complete notification of sale received by the motor vehicle registration authority.

Since 12 June 2015, paragraph 5 has been repealed, meaning that the tax liability only ends when the vehicle is taken out of service or transferred to the new owner.
The vehicle registration authority therefore advises that vehicles be taken out of service before they are sold.
