28More specifically, a Member State may not charge tax on imported second-hand motor vehicles based on a value which is higher than the real value of the vehicle with the result that they are taxed more heavily than similar second-hand cars on the domestic market (see, to that effect, Commission v Denmark, paragraph 22). The taxable value imputed to the imported second-hand vehicle by the revenue authorities should faithfully reflect the value of a similar second-hand vehicle already registered on the domestic market (see, inter alia, Weigel, paragraph 71).
