Dear biker friends, I have a somewhat “dusty” question, namely on the subject of taxes :-). I am self-employed and am doing the driving licence class A. Since I am travelling in the city professionally, which I have always used to drive by public transport, I would like to do this from the season 2023 always from March to October with a season registration mark with the motorcycle. Therefore, of course, I would like to apply the bike tax, so Since the topic is completely new to me, I still have a few questions and would be very pleased if someone – who also uses his motorcycle as a “company car with 1% regulation” – could answer my question marks in the head: 1. If I am properly informed, it is basically possible to apply a motorcycle as a “service vehicle” for tax purposes and tax it with the 1% regulation – is treated tax-wise exactly as one would do with a car. ? 2. Can I, as a trader, also claim the VAT of the purchase price (50% down payment and rest in the form of monthly leasing instalments spread over 24 or 36 months) via the VAT advance registrations? 3. Can I also claim the costs for the driving licence class A and/or the motorcycle clothing (jackets, trousers, gloves, boots, etc.) tax (both VAT at the UsSt declaration/pre-registration as well as as as as operating expenditure in the business tax declaration), since you have to pay the Use of the motorcycle is necessary? 4. Is the season license plate a problem? I use the motorcycle then “only” from March to October and in the months of November to February I then ride the train. I would be very happy if someone could help me here. Or maybe someone also has a link where I can find this information… Thank you in advance! Christian
