Scrappage bonus tightened on 1 August 2019: 116 g CO2/km threshold and income-per-share criterion
The decree of 16 July 2019 tightens the scrappage bonus from 1 August 2019. The emissions threshold for vehicles purchased drops from 122 to 116 g CO2/km. The amount no longer depends on whether the household pays income tax but on a reference taxable income per share of at most €13,489. Bonus levels are reduced except for the cleanest vehicles (for example from €2,000 to €1,500 and from €4,000 to €3,000 for some categories), and vehicles costing more than €60,000 including tax are excluded.
