Summary by the Danish Parliament (in Danish)
Lovforslaget er en genfremsættelse af lovforslag nr. L 81, folketingsåret 2025-2026, 1. samling. Med lovforslaget foreslås det at indføre en tilladelsesordning for virksomheder, der udbyder leasing af motorkøretøjer på forholdsmæssig registreringsafgift. Formålet er at sikre bedre kontrol med området og skabe klare rammer for virksomhederne. Det foreslås, at virksomhederne for at opnå tilladelse bl.a. skal have en ansvarlig ledelse, have en holdbar forretningsmodel og have procedurer for vurdering af kunders betalingsevne. Derudover foreslås det, at virksomheder, der opnår tilladelse, omfattes af hvidvasklovgivningen, og at Finanstilsynet udpeges som tilsynsmyndighed. Det foreslås, at loven træder i kraft den 1. januar 2027.
