These are for private sales only, the other thread was private and corporate sales.

Can somebody please provide detailed info / definition what exactly private & what corporate sales are in Germany.

Leases via leasing companies count as private or corporate sales (since the car is officially owned by leasing company)? Taxi drivers - do they count as private or corporate sales - when they buy a car privately but use it for business then? Corporate sales for private use of the business owner (eg. buying a car for yourself via your own private company due lower taxation) - counting as corporate or private sales? Etc.
