Fully electric vehicles typically pay about 70% of normal road tax (MRB) (a ~30% discount) in this tax year. This is usually applied automatically, so the most practical action is to verify the classification and understand that rates change by year.
If your vehicle is 40 years or older, it can be fully exempt from road tax (MRB). This is not a 'buy an oldtimer' tip—only a check if you already have a classic vehicle.
Suspending a vehicle (schorsing) can stop MRB for a period, but it’s high-friction and only realistic if you genuinely won’t use or park the vehicle on public roads. Treat this as a niche option (e.g. seasonal vehicles, restoration).
MRB is mainly driven by vehicle weight, fuel type, and your province surcharge (opcenten). This is usually a small optimization unless you're deciding between vehicles.
Only relevant if you’re planning to buy/import a car. Importing a used car from abroad can reduce BPM (purchase tax) compared to buying new in NL.
A comparison scenario (not a guaranteed saving): compare bijtelling versus using your private car with the €0.23/km tax-free allowance.
