To offset the lower car manufacturer that is the list price for new cars sold in Denmark, so they remain affordable. EU law sets but that the tax is due there, where the cars will be allowed. If you buy the Danish EU new car and leaves him in Germany, you pay the lower price and cheaper tax. A simple calculation.
