Notes: 1) Until 21 October 1998 only snowmobiles from outside the EU, EFTA, and other countries with which Greenland had signed a free trade agreement were taxed. From 21 October 1998, all imported snowmobiles are taxed. 2) As from 6 October 1999, petrol and diesel cars (passenger cars) are taxed similarly. A flat tax rate of DKK 50.000 is applied. Further taxes are 100 per cent of the invoice value above DKK 50.000 but below DKK 150.000 and 125 per cent of the rest. For trucks, buses, and vans, a flat tax rate of DKK of 50.000 per unit applies. 3) As of 19 October 2007, the duty on tobacco, alcoholic beverages, carbonated beverages, and concentrates for the manufacture of carbonated beverages and sugar was increased. 4) On 6 October 1999 a tax on water scooters was introduced. 5) Repealed on 24 April 1996.
