This estimate includes import VAT in full. A VAT number does not automatically make vehicle VAT deductible: eligibility and the deductible share depend on the importing country, vehicle use, type and price. Business buyers should subtract only the VAT they have confirmed is recoverable when assessing net cost. Eligible businesses in Portugal and some other countries may account for import VAT on the return instead of paying at customs; this is not an exemption and does not itself grant a deduction.

BEVs pay 0, PHEVs / range-extenders usually 0. Cars imported from China get no Tabela D age discount (that only applies to used cars on EU plates). Homologation €1,200 includes customs and registration (verified). Countervailing duty: new Chinese-built BEVs and range-extenders pay 35.3% unless the invoice is issued by a listed manufacturer with the required declaration (then BYD 17 / Geely 18.8 / Tesla 7.8 / listed cooperating makers 20.7; unlisted makers stay at 35.3).
