I'm not sure if it applies in Denmark but when I was in Norway the
ridiculously high taxes were for new cars only and the Norwegians I was
working with said they used to get their cars serviced in Denmark for some
strange tax reason.

The Danes get their teeth fixed in Sweden. Fixed price monopoly in Denmark.
20 years ago I paid a fortune to import my old [and nearly worthless in the UK] Volvo 360.
It cost another fortune to put it through a Danish MOT when it already had a new British MOT.
Danish car repairs are fixed price regardless of effort required or time.
I watched from across the road as my "3 hour" windscreen replacement took under ten minutes.
The Danes say; "Own one car. Pay for three."
They probably say the same for their teeth.
Spectacles are also ridiculously priced in comparison with the UK.
I was recently quoted £600+ for a pair of single strength, non-allergenic reading glasses.
The supermarkets sell single strength reading glasses for between £5-10 equiv.
It's pot luck whether I am allergic to the plastic frames.
