[variable229]

I don't know why people think this is a tax bill that you have to pay. It is not and I would just keep this as a souvenir.

Keep in mind, ich spreche ein bisschen Deutsche. So sorry if its a bad translation, I paraphrased as much as possible as I don't want to retype the whole letter here and German is like my 4th language.

The letter you received states that they are planning to debit the amount of $29 euros (for us M5 folks, tax amounts vary on engine size / emissions). By law they will debit the $29 Euros on November 20, 2014 (this date will vary). This amount will be direct debited from bank account (IBAN number) that is held at Deutsche Bank Germany. The Zoll letter also states that your tax period was valid for 30 days.

The rest of the letter informs us if you sold the vehicle sometime during the 30 day period, you may be entitled to a refund. The bottom of the letter states the type of registration "Personal Vehicle", valid on first registration date (likely your ED date) and maximum laden mass (2.411kg). The back of letter states how the tax is calculated on your vehicle. The bottom paragraph on the back of the letter basically states that you can appeal on the decision how they calculated the tax amount fees.
