GHG Quota - What is it?

The greenhouse gas reduction quota (GHG quota) is a funding instrument that was introduced by legislators in 2022 to reduce climate-damaging greenhouse gases in the long term. Companies have to declare their GHG quota every year and can offset this by purchasing GHG certificates.
With the help of eQuotNow you can have your CO2 savings certified and sell your annual GHG quota to companies subject to quotas.

GHG quota sale - lease car.

At eQuotNow you get even for lease cars the GHG quota.

Take the chance to sell the GHG quota of your leasing vehicle.
Secure your GHG bonus now with the help of the eQuotNow GHG quota app.

  • ePremium - What is it?
    What is known in Germany under the term GHG quota is now also available in Austria as an e-premium. Anyone who owns an e-car has had the opportunity to receive an environmental bonus since 2023. You get money for the proof of CO2 savings and renewable electricity used by charging the electric and hybrid vehicle.
  • Do I get a higher ePremium if I have used more electricity?
    The flat-rate estimated value for determining the ePremium in Austria is 1500 kWh per year. If you have charged more than 1500 kWh of electricity for your e-vehicle in one year and can also prove this, you will receive a higher ePremium for each additional kWh. Evidence of the amount of electricity loaded can be: Evaluations of the Wallboxapp Evaluations of the power generation system (e.g. PV system) Export from the charging station backend A receipt for the meter reading You can easily upload the file to our app.
  • For which vehicles is an ePremium paid?
    You can only benefit from the flat-rate e-premium, which is 1500 kWh per e-car if your e-vehicle is a two-track, purely battery-electric vehicle for which there is a Part I registration certificate (vehicle registration).< /p> However, you can receive an ePremium per kWh for the electricity you verifiably charge. This also applies to plug-in hybrids and single-track vehicles, e.g. an e-motorcycle or e-scooter. Attention: If there is no registration certificate Part I for your e-vehicle in the sense of the Vehicle Registration Ordinance, then unfortunately you cannot benefit from the e-premium.
  • Can I apply for the ePremium for leased vehicles?
    Yes, the ePremium also applies to vehicles that are leased.
  • I have an e-bus or an electric commercial vehicle. Do I get a higher ePremium? 
    The flat-rate estimated value for determining the ePremium in Austria is 1500 kWh per year. This also applies to commercial vehicles and buses.However, if you have charged more than 1500 kWh of electricity for your e-vehicle in one year and can also prove this, you will receive a higher ePremium for each additional kWh. Evidence of the amount of electricity loaded can be: Evaluations of the Wallboxapp Evaluations of the power generation system (e.g. PV system) Export from the charging station backend A receipt for the meter reading
  • How do I get the eBonus?
    Simply download the eQuotNow app from the app or Google play store. All you have to do is register and upload the front and back of your vehicle registration document.
  • How much will the payout be?
    With us you get the highest possible price for your e-reward. You can count on a minimum of €400 and up to €900 minus our administration costs. To cover our administrative costs, we charge a commission of 16 percent.
  • When is the payment made?
    The payment will be made promptly after the registered vehicles have been certified by the Federal Environment Agency. Unfortunately, we cannot provide specific information here, as we are dependent on the authorities in Austria. However, you can prepare yourself for a few months, as certification is only possible in the following year. The ePremium will then be paid out, and we will announce the outgoing payment by e-mail.
  • How is the payment made?
    We will transfer the money to your account as soon as the ePremium is certified and sold. In the app, choose which type of transfer you prefer. We offer payment to your bank or PayPal account.
  • Do I have to pay tax on the ePremium?
    It may be that the taxation of the e-premium is handled in the same way as the taxation of the GHG quota in Germany. If the vehicle is part of private assets, the proceeds from the sale of the ePremium cannot be assigned to any type of income. Payments received are therefore "private" and not subject to income tax. If the vehicle is part of the business assets, payments received are to be classified as business income and thus as part of the profit. So they are taxable.We recommend that you ask your tax advisor directly if necessary.
  • How often can I apply for the ePremium?
    It is an annually recurring payment. You can apply for the ePremium once a year for each electric vehicle.
  • Is there a minimum contract period?
    No. With eQuotNow you only sell your e-Rewards for one year.
  • Can I apply for the ePremium for several vehicles?
    Yes. The number of vehicles is not limited.
  • Can I register vehicles registered to a company?
    Yes. To do this, you must specify the company to which the vehicles are registered when registering.
  • Do I keep the ePremium if I sell my vehicle?
    If the vehicle is not registered in your name all year round, you will receive a share of the ePremium.To be more precise, this means that if the vehicle has only been registered for you for 8 months, for example, you will only receive 8/12 of the ePremium. Note! You are obliged to report a re-registration or cancellation.Simply send us a short email to support@equotnow.de.< /p>
