This is to do with taxation, and it refers to an imagined (or even real) chart in the tax office with a graph of how the tax due relates to the value of a car or other vehicle.
http://www.skm.dk/public/billeder/publikationer/notater/bil-...
If you plot the value of the vehicle along the x axis and the tax to be charged along the y axis, you will get a linear curve or scale which changes direction ('knækker' in Danish) at a certain point or points.
e.g. (page 5 in th PDF file)
Registreringsafgift:
nu
105 pct. af værdien indtil 65.900 kr. og 180 pct. af værdien over 65.900 kr.
The 'skalaknæk' comes where the value of the vehicle is
65.901 kr.
Below this point the registration charge is 105% of the vehicle, and from that value upwards the charge is 180%
You could possibly call it a change of rate
or increase in rate (registration tax ratio)
if what you are really talking about is the tax payable and not the chart or scale.

If you look at pages 6, 7 and 8 in the PDF file, you can clearly see what is meant by these 'knæk'
