Frequently asked questions
Quickly find answers to common questions
When do I not have to pay bijtelling?+
You do not pay bijtelling if you drive less than 500 private kilometers per year with your company car. You must keep a mileage log to prove this.
How does bijtelling work for an electric car in 2026?+
Electric cars have a reduced bijtelling rate on the first part of the catalog value. In 2026, the reduced rate is 18% up to €30,000, and 22% on the rest.
How much more will I pay net per month?+
The net cost depends on your marginal tax rate. Multiply your gross bijtelling by your tax rate (for many incomes: 37.56%) to estimate your monthly net cost.
What if I only have the car for part of the year?+
Bijtelling is calculated proportionally. If you have the car for 6 months, you pay bijtelling for 6/12 of the year.
Does the percentage apply for 5 years from first registration?+
Yes, the bijtelling percentage at first registration typically applies for 60 months (5 years). After that, the current year's rate may apply.
How does the mileage log (rittenregistratie) work?+
To prove you drive less than 500 private kilometers per year, you must keep a detailed mileage log. This log typically includes date, starting location, destination, kilometers driven, and whether it was business or private.
What is the difference between bijtelling and company car costs?+
Bijtelling is a taxable benefit added to your income for private use of a company car. The actual costs (fuel, insurance, maintenance) are paid by the employer. Bijtelling is calculated as a percentage of the car's catalog value and taxed at your marginal rate.
What is the standard bijtelling percentage in 2026?+
The standard bijtelling rate is 22% of the catalog value. For electric vehicles, a reduced rate of 18% applies up to €30,000, with 22% above that.
