BPM exemption on horse trucks expires from 2025!

Now take advantage of the last BPM exemption!

From 1 January 2025, the rules for the BPM for horse trucks will change to 3.5 tonnes (B-driving licence).The current BPM exemption for entrepreneurs when purchasing commercial cars on fuel will then expire. exemption Only for electric commercial vehicles.

This means that from 2025 onwards, every new company car will be charged BPM, which will significantly increase the purchase price. The amount of this tax will be determined on the basis of the CO2 emissions of the car. This can amount to an increase of €20,000,-!

What changes will be made as from 1 January 2025?

• The new BPM rules will make commercial cars with combustion engines more expensive.
• The cost for these cars can be up to €20,000,- then in 2024.
• The BPM depends on factors such as fuel type, engine and technological specifications.

What can you do now?

Now that the BPM exemption is disappearing, this is the time to examine your fleet. Do you consider a new horse truck or company car soon? Then still before 1 January 2025, make a purchase and make a profit from:

• No BPM charge until the end of 2024.
• A lower purchase value.
• Provisional exemptions for emission zones.

Why is the BPM exemption being repealed?

The government has taken this measure to reduce CO2 emissions and to encourage entrepreneurs to opt for environmentally friendly alternatives, such as fully electric commercial vehicles, which is in line with the broader ambition to make a sustainable and greener future.

Then why not electric horse truck?

Unfortunately, electric horse truck has not yet proved successful, and there are a number of factors to be mentioned:

• Very limited range. With a real range of around 6070 KM this is really a no-go!
• Low/no loading possibilities on competition and riding stables
• Far too high equity, which means that the load capacity (even on C driving licence) is too limited
• High purchase price, which is currently at least €35,000,- up to €40,000,- higher than the normal diesel variant
• Uncertain residual value
