What is Company Car Tax (Bijtelling) for Electric Vehicles?

Company car tax (bijtelling) is the tax you pay on a company car. Electric vehicles have more favorable rates in 2026 than petrol and diesel cars, allowing you to save significantly.

Electric Vehicles

18% tax up to €30,000 list price

22% tax above €30,000

Petrol/Diesel

💡 <strong>Example:</strong> An electric car of €45,000 costs you approximately €8,700 per year in company car tax (€30,000 × 18% + €15,000 × 22%). A comparable petrol car costs €9,900 per year (€45,000 × 22%). That's a savings of €1,200 per year!

Frequently Asked Questions About Company Car Tax

The government encourages electric driving with lower tax rates: 18% up to €30,000 and 22% above, versus 22% for all petrol/diesel vehicles.

The list price is the official recommended retail price of the car at first registration in the Netherlands, including VAT and BPM. It's stated in the vehicle registration certificate.

The reduced rates for EVs apply until at least 2030. The rates are evaluated annually by the government.

Each province adds a surcharge (opcenten) to the national MRB, varying from 63.7% (Groningen) to 98.5% (Zuid-Holland). For EVs in 2026, the calculation is: weight-based MRB × 70% discount factor × provincial multiplier. Note: MRB discount reduced from 75% in 2025 to 30% in 2026.
