Road tax revenue up sharply in 2024: +7 percent!

Road tax rate

“The state expects to receive over 4.9 billion euros in motor vehicle taxes in 2024, about 7.5 percent more than a year earlier. The road tax rate, excluding surcharges (the additional provincial component of the motor vehicle tax), increased by about 10 percent. Except for Groningen and Drenthe, all provinces increased the motor vehicle tax surcharge rates.” reports CBS.

Braking effect

Just know that tax measures-think of the (partial) exemption of partially or fully electric vehicles-have an inhibiting effect on expected revenues. In 2025, battery-electric car owners will also start paying road tax, probably in the form of a quarter rate. Thus, road tax revenues are expected to increase even more in 2025.

Almost all provinces are increasing the provincial portion of the motor vehicle tax, the opcent rate. The increase is greatest in North Holland, where the rate is raised from 67.9 percent to 77.4 percent. Despite this increase, North Holland still maintains the lowest markup rate of any province.
