Everything you need to know about Dutch road tax: how it's calculated, provincial differences, and reduced rates for electric vehicles.
Motor vehicle tax depends on three main factors
The base MRB rate increases with vehicle weight. Heavier vehicles pay more tax.
Diesel vehicles pay more than petrol. Electric vehicles get reduced rates in 2025. Plug-in hybrids may qualify for a reduced rate under certain conditions.
Each province adds a surcharge (opcenten). This can vary by hundreds of euros per year.
In 2025, fully electric vehicles typically pay about 25% of the standard petrol MRB rate (≈75% discount).
May qualify for reduced rates depending on CO2 emissions.
Vehicles 40+ years old may qualify for reduced rates.
