Danish Government Accuses Tesla For Defrauding Tax Law In Europe

The electric car maker could be defrauding the Danish government in order to avoid payment of tax on the sales of its electric cars in the country.

Tesla Motors has found itself in some serious trouble with the European government over delivery of electric cars and news suggests that it has allegedly been carrying out by breaking the laws in Denmark. According to the reports, the electric car maker is currently being accused of breaking the law in the region, as it has applied for registration of around 2,000 smart cars right before the expiration of the tax break that is to take place within the country soon. This act of the giant is being considered as a huge violation of the rules set by the Danish government, as the officials believe that the giant is working in a way that might be defraud authorities on many different levels.

The massive number of cars that have been put in line for the purpose of registration is being considered as an act to get a majority of its luxury cars through the government without having to face the tax break and this has greatly offended the authorities. Minister of Taxation of Denmark, Karsten Lauritzen, has stated in a recent press release that the idea of attaining a huge number of cars in bulk and to have intentions of selling them again is against the law.

Even though there is a possibility of the same number of orders to be received by Tesla business from the Danish region in the same time period, the officials believe that this is highly metaphorical and could possibly not be true. Also, Lauritzen’s statements also suggested that the electric vehicle maker might simply be working to turn the law around and to break the rules in a way that might not get the authorities’ attention.

Tesla cars being delivered in the region in such a huge number are basically believed to avoiding paying the tax duty in the European country and this suspicion has been backed up by the actions of the auto giant, which it has been carrying out lately.  However, its efforts to dodge the tax might not come to work any time soon, as the Danish government made an official announcement to the market that all the new tax rules which will be made for other auto luxury car makers, will also be needed to followed by the American company without any change or bend in the rules.

This implementation of the new tax law will see the registration fee being paid by the smart car maker over each car that it sells in the country. This will also be the first time that the company pays tax over its cars in such a big amount.
