Belgian Road Tax

18 Mar, 2016

A new road taxation system for all motor vehicles over 3.5 ton is introduced in Belgium as per 1st of April 2016.

Starting 1st of April 2016 a new Road Taxation system will be introduced in Belgium for all motor vehicles over 3.5 tons using the national road networks. The tax will be introduced simultaneously in all three Belgian regions:

  • In the Brussels region, on the entire road network (motorways, regional and local roads and streets)
  • In Flanders, on the Eurovignette network (except for Ports areas and motorways accessing the Ports)
  • In Wallonia, on the majority of motorways and regional road.

 

After a thorough analysis of this complex matter, SGL Road has calculated the tarifs below, based on the expenses from the Belgium authorities both for direct transports to/from Belgium and international traffics transitting Belgium roads and is applicable as from 1st of April 2016.

Calculation of the roadtax will be as follow:

To/from Belgium
Minimum: DKK 25.00 per shipment
Per 100 kgs: DKK 2.15
Maximum: DKK 395.00

Belgium Transit
Minimum: DKK 25.00 per shipment
Per 100 kgs: DKK 1.25
Maximum: DKK 235.00

Calculations are based on the normal conversion rates: 1 ldm = 1,850 kgs / 1 cbm = 333 kgs.
