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.

Action Steps

1. 1Check your MRB assessment/notice: fuel type should be registered as fully electric
2. 2If your vehicle is misclassified, contact RDW/Belastingdienst to correct it
3. 3Be aware: EV MRB discounts change by year (your payable % can increase over time)
4. 4If you’re deciding between EV vs non-EV, compare total yearly costs (MRB + insurance + depreciation + charging/fuel)
5. 5If you have a company car, also compare bijtelling rules separately (different regime)
6. 6Use our MRB and bijtelling calculators to sanity-check your situation

Requirements

• •Must be fully electric (0 CO2 emissions)
