The incentives and legislations section is updated for 2025, published on 18th April 2025, representing the situation as of that date. Major changes of incentives and polices are updated on a rolling basis from that date onwards.

Incentives and legislation that aim to increase uptake of alternative fuels vehicles and infrastructure.

If you know of other national or local incentives that should be included in this section, please send us an email, or use the button on the right, and let us know. We review the proposed changes and implement the updates on a short notice. 

Purchase subsidies

No national purchase subsidies for BEVs in place as of 2025.

Registration Tax Benefits

No BEV-specific registration tax benefits exist; no registration tax is levied in Liechtenstein.

Ownership / Circulation Tax Benefits

BEVs and hybrids are currently exempt from the annual motor vehicle tax.
A reform to end this exemption and introduce weight/power-based taxation is under review but not yet adopted.

VAT Benefits

No VAT reduction.

Local incentives

Several municipalities in Liechtenstein offer free parking for electric vehicles in designated parking zones.

Some express lanes on major highways might be accessible only to electric vehicles, potentially saving significant time during peak hours.

AF Infrastructure Incentives

Liechtenstein is actively investing in expanding its public charging infrastructure, making it more convenient to own and operate an EV.

Announced policy changes (effective later in 2025 and after)

A reform of the motor vehicle tax is under discussion. It may introduce:
– A tax on BEVs based on vehicle weight and performance, and
– A CO₂-based tax at first registration.

The government has paused the reform until 2025 pending developments in Switzerland, which is evaluating a kilometre-based tax for BEVs. Liechtenstein may align with this model.

Institutions involved in Incentives

Ministry of Infrastructure and Justice; Government of Liechtenstein
