In a letter dated 7 February 2022, the German Federal Ministry of Finance comments, for the first time, on the VAT treatment of the increasingly popular use of electric vehicles and company bicycles.

This means high administrative burdens for all entrepreneurs, who must determine different tax bases for income tax (especially wage tax) and VAT.
