Car Dealer Compliance in Liechtenstein

The rules for car adverts in Liechtenstein

6 rules decide what a dealer in Liechtenstein has to show on the car, in adverts and in financing examples. Each one, and what it asks of you:

LGBl. 2026 Nr. 312
Kundmachung of the Swiss legal provisions applicable in Liechtenstein under the Customs Treaty, LR 170.551.631
Authority Government of the Principality of Liechtenstein
Lists which Swiss acts apply in Liechtenstein under the Customs Treaty of 29 March 1923: the EnEV in full, the Swiss Energy Act articles on vehicles, fines and prosecution, and the VEE-PLS of 2 July 2025. Swiss amendments apply in Liechtenstein from the day a Kundmachung lists them, so the Liechtenstein dates can trail the Swiss ones by months.
EnEV
Swiss Energy Efficiency Ordinance (SR 730.02)
Authority Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE)
A new car with up to 2,000 km needs the energy label in the sales location, created only with the SFOE online tool and written in a Swiss official language, in Liechtenstein German. Adverts and sales listings state consumption and CO2, for passenger cars also the category, online with the SFOE graphic. Fines reach CHF 100,000 for intent and CHF 20,000 for negligence, prosecuted by the SFOE.
VEE-PLS 2026
DETEC Ordinance on energy efficiency categories for 2026 (AS 2025 470), as announced in Liechtenstein
Authority Federal Department of the Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications (DETEC)
Sets the category boundaries A to G and the average CO2 of new cars at 111 g/km. The Swiss ordinance for 2027 (102 g/km) is not yet announced in Liechtenstein, so the 2026 values continue to apply there from 1 January 2027 until it is.
CO2-Gesetz
Liechtenstein CO2 Act (LR 814.065)
Authority Government of the Principality of Liechtenstein
Applies in place of the Swiss CO2 Act and sets the CO2 target for new passenger cars at 93.6 g/km for 2025 to 2029, the value the Swiss label rules refer to.
KKG
Liechtenstein Consumer Credit Act (Konsumkreditgesetz), LGBl. 2012 No. 1, advertising
Authority Government of the Principality of Liechtenstein
As soon as an advert names an interest rate or any cost figure, it needs a representative example: borrowing rate, total credit amount, annual percentage rate, term, cash price and down payment, total amount and instalments, presented clearly, concisely and prominently. The act covers loans from CHF 300 to 120,000. There is no warning text, because the EU Consumer Credit Directive 2023/2225 is not yet part of the EEA Agreement.
KKG
Liechtenstein Consumer Credit Act, credit intermediaries
Authority Government of the Principality of Liechtenstein; fines under Art. 25
A dealer who arranges a loan is a credit intermediary and must say in his advertising how far his powers go and whether he works exclusively with one or more lenders or independently. Leaving it out can cost up to CHF 5,000, or CHF 20,000 when repeated.

Car dealer compliance in Liechtenstein follows Swiss energy label law, not a law of its own: under the Customs Treaty with Switzerland, the Swiss Energy Efficiency Ordinance (EnEV) applies in the version listed in the Kundmachung LGBl. 2026 No. 312, in force since 18 September 2026. Every new car with up to 2,000 km therefore carries the energy label made with the SFOE online tool, and every advert states consumption, CO2 emissions and, for passenger cars, the energy efficiency category A to G. Financing adverts, on the other hand, follow Liechtenstein's own Consumer Credit Act (KKG), which asks for a representative example and a sentence on your role as credit intermediary, without the warning EU countries add on 20 November 2026. Vehicle Hub keeps both as a rule set for Liechtenstein, in German and in Swiss francs.

Swiss changes reach Liechtenstein only when the government announces them, and Vehicle Hub follows that date, not the Swiss one. That is why a car on your website will still show the 2026 average of 111 g/km for new cars after 1 January 2027, until a new Kundmachung lists the Swiss values for 2027. You enter the category from the SFOE label once; the car's page, built with the Vehicle Hub widgets, shows the official SFOE graphic, and the exposé and price sign show the letter. Each check is described under car dealer mandatory information, and the car labelling directive by country overview sets Liechtenstein next to Switzerland and Austria. Vehicle Hub applies the published rules; it does not give legal advice.

What applies at the car in Liechtenstein: the Swiss energy label

Liechtenstein uses the Swiss energy label. It is an A4 portrait sheet you create with the SFOE online tool, in German, with a QR code to verbrauchskatalog.ch, and Vehicle Hub does not print it. You enter its category in Vehicle Hub, which then shows the official SFOE graphic on the car's page and the letter on exposé and price sign. Vans carry consumption and CO2 only, without a category and without a label at the vehicle.

A up to 3.23
B 3.23-4.03
C 4.03-4.84
D 4.84-5.65
E 5.65-6.46
F 6.46-7.26
G above 7.26

Energy efficiency categories A to G by primary energy petrol equivalent, VEE-PLS 2026 as announced in Liechtenstein

Exposé printed by Vehicle Hub for a Liechtenstein branch: a new petrol Toyota Yaris Cross with 5.6 l/100 km, 127 g/km and energy efficiency category D from the SFOE label, plus the average CO2 of all new cars sold.

Mandatory details in Liechtenstein

Energy efficiency category A-G for passenger cars, from the SFOE label
Energy consumption per 100 km, to one decimal
CO2 emissions in whole g/km
Plug-in hybrids: fuel and electricity consumption
Vans: consumption and CO2 without a category
Average CO2 of all new cars sold, 111 g/km (voluntary line)
Representative example: borrowing rate, total credit amount, APR, term, cash price, down payment, total amount, instalments
Sentence on the scope of your work as credit intermediary

What you get

Liechtenstein dates, not Swiss ones
Vehicle Hub applies a Swiss change only from the date a Kundmachung lists it for Liechtenstein, so your adverts show the values that apply in Vaduz, not those that apply in Zurich.
The SFOE graphic on every online advert
Enter the category from the SFOE label and the car's page shows the official graphic in German. The exposé and the price sign print the letter.
Your role as credit intermediary
Choose once whether you work with one lender, several or independently. The Loan Calculator prints the sentence the KKG asks for under every financing example.
Swiss francs throughout
Prices, financing examples and totals appear in CHF, the currency of Liechtenstein, on your website and in the exposé.
No EU warning where it does not apply
Liechtenstein has not taken over the new EU consumer credit rules yet, so your financing examples carry no warning text after 20 November 2026.

Set up your Liechtenstein branch in an hour

Choose Liechtenstein as the branch's market, enter the categories of your new cars from their SFOE labels and your lender in the financing settings. Then open a car's page and check what a buyer from Vaduz or Schaan sees.

How to get started

Set up car dealer compliance in Liechtenstein
Open Vehicle Hub in your KIMISUITE workspace and choose Liechtenstein as the main market of your branch. Dealers who also sell into Switzerland can add it as an additional market.
Bring in your stock
Import from mobile.de, your dealer system or a CSV or XML feed, or add cars in the wizard.
Add category and financing details
Enter the category from each new car's SFOE label. If you advertise financing, enter the lender and your role as credit intermediary.
Publish
Place the widgets on your website and hand out exposés. Run 'Check all vehicles' whenever you add new cars.

Pricing

The Liechtenstein rule set, the SFOE graphics and the Loan Calculator with the KKG example are part of Vehicle Hub, from a fixed monthly price (see pricing) per dealership workspace. A garage with one site needs one workspace for the whole team.

Is it the right fit?

A good fit if

Garages and brand representations in Liechtenstein that sell new cars and occasions
Dealers who advertise financing and must state their role as credit intermediary
Dealers with customers on both sides of the Rhine who also sell into Switzerland or Austria

Not the right fit if

Dealers who expect Vehicle Hub to create the energy label; only the SFOE tool may do that
Dealers who want Vehicle Hub to publish their stock to AutoScout24 Schweiz; Vehicle Hub publishes only to mobile.de, not to AutoScout24 Schweiz
Anyone looking for legal advice; Vehicle Hub applies the rules, a lawyer in Liechtenstein interprets them

Frequently asked questions

Is car dealer compliance in Liechtenstein the same as in Switzerland?

For the energy label, yes: the Swiss EnEV applies under the Customs Treaty, in the version the Liechtenstein Kundmachung lists. For financing adverts, no: Liechtenstein has its own Consumer Credit Act with an intermediary sentence and without the Swiss over-indebtedness notice.

Which CO2 average applies in Liechtenstein from January 2027?

Still 111 g/km. Switzerland moves to 102 g/km on 1 January 2027, but that ordinance applies in Liechtenstein only once a Kundmachung lists it, which in past years came in spring. The category boundaries are the same in both years.

Do financing adverts in Liechtenstein need a warning from 20 November 2026?

No. The new EU consumer credit directive is not yet part of the EEA Agreement and has not been transposed in Liechtenstein. Your adverts need the representative example and the intermediary sentence under the KKG.

Who prosecutes breaches of the energy label rules in Liechtenstein?

The Swiss Federal Office of Energy, under the Swiss Energy Act articles announced for Liechtenstein. Fines reach CHF 100,000 for intent and CHF 20,000 for negligence.

Does a van need the energy efficiency category?

No. Vans and light semi-trailers state consumption and CO2 in adverts but carry no category and no label at the vehicle. Vehicle Hub handles them as a rule set of their own.

Which authority supervises data protection for my enquiries?

The Datenschutzstelle Liechtenstein, under the GDPR, which applies through the EEA Agreement, and the Liechtenstein Data Protection Act. Vehicle Hub delivers enquiries from your website to you and to CRM Business Hub.
