E-taxi support programme

Yes, but only with a dealer invoice (no purchase from private individuals). Both the purchase and leasing of used and new vehicles are subsidised with one third of the net acquisition costs up to a maximum of 10,000 euros.

Yes, the e-taxi must cover at least 30,000 kilometres in passenger transport within the holding period (10,000 kilometres per year). For this purpose, the journey data is transmitted to the City of Munich once a year.

The e-taxi must be used as a taxi in the City of Munich for at least three years from the date of payment of the subsidy.

The e-taxi may only be ordered/purchased/leased after the application has been approved. The only exceptions to this are vehicles that are on the waiting list for the old e-taxi subsidy programme.

The proof of use can only be submitted after the application has been approved and implemented. This is also done via the online funding portal.

• Copy of the purchase contract or copy of the invoice or leasing contract
• Copy of the vehicle registration document
• Proof of the vehicle identification number
• Extract from the authorisation certificate for passenger transport
• Proof of the order with date

It is no longer possible to submit new applications for e-taxi funding via occupied kilometres. Applications that have already been approved will continue to be settled. Billing will take place every six months at a rate of €0.20 per e-occupied kilometre driven. The procedure will not change as a result of the new funding guideline.

State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union is in principle illegal and requires notification or authorisation by the European Commission. The authorisation procedure can take several years.

The de minimis Regulation therefore stipulates that state aid that does not exceed the current threshold of EUR 300,000 within three years is permissible in exceptional cases without prior notification or authorisation by the European Commission, as this is small-scale aid that does not have any significant impact on intra-Community competition.

The concept of an undertaking is interpreted broadly in European state aid law. An undertaking is defined as "any entity engaged in an economic activity, irrespective of its legal form and the way in which it is financed". Further details on this can be found in the fact sheet on the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union on the distinction between non-economic and economic activity. A company also includes all companies associated with it (e.g. subsidiaries).

Important note: An intention to make a profit is not required to be categorised as an enterprise! Therefore, church, charitable or non-profit associations as well as cultural and sports organisations can also be classified as companies.

When processing your funding application, we treat all organisations as companies within the meaning of EU state aid law and issue a de minimis decision in each case. Approximately ten days after the notification has been sent, we will enter your aid in the central de minimis register as described in the de minimis notification. If you do not agree with this, please contact us. You are welcome to do so even before the funding decision is issued.
