Government wants to extend electric car rebate by one year

The government wants to extend the tax rebate for electric cars costing more than 366,000 kroner by another year. Climate Minister Samira Nawa (R) says so.

In the government's proposal for the Finance Act for 2027, the government suggested allowing the tax rebate to expire at the turn of the year. This would lower the threshold at which electric cars are exempt from registration fees from 420,000 kroner to 366,000 kroner per electric car and raise 800 million kroner for the state treasury.

Shopkeeper from Aarup named MENY Fighter of the Year

A shopkeeper from MENY in Aarup has been named Fighter of the Year among the country's MENY stores. Dagrofa wrote this in a press release.

The award is due in part to the shopkeeper having become the town's local shopkeeper in record time, and to the employees having brought life to the store, which had been running at a loss for years. The store's growth has come despite challenging roadworks. There are 116 MENY stores in Denmark. TV 2 Fyn
