BPM horse truck, what's changing?

Abolition of BPM exemption for horse trucks from 2025!

We have a lot of questions about the change on the subject from all sides; BPM horse truck. We would like to explain what the current state of affairs is. Recent research by SEO and the General Court shows that the current regime for the purchase of commercial vehicles by entrepreneurs causes significant tax losses. It is assumed that commercial cars will produce more CO2 compared to passenger cars.

To promote the sale of emission-free or very economical commercial vehicles, the government has decided to abolish the BPM exemption for entrepreneurs. Where you could previously purchase a horse truck without BPM in business, the same scheme will apply as for passenger cars from 2025.

At this moment, the net catalogue price determines the BPM, but this will also change. From 2025 onwards, the BPM rate will be determined by the CO2 emissions of the car. In the first calculations, a BPM of €66.91 per gram of CO2 is mentioned.

Example: For example, for a new Renault Master, this would mean that more than €20,000 in BPM is charged.

These amendments are expected to take effect on 1 January 2025.

Pay attention: the starting date of this (law) change is not yet final. We keep all trends of the Tax administration entry into force is subject to approval by the Second and First Chamber or promulgation of the General Measure of Governance (AMvB) or ministerial regulation and publication in the State Gazette or the State Gazette.

Do you still use the BPM exemption?

Until 31 December 2024 you can still use the BPM exemption as an entrepreneur if you meet the following conditions:

• You are an entrepreneur under Article 7 of the Sales Tax Act 1968.
• You use the van for more than 10% of the total mileage per year for your company.
• Your van meets the requirements for the BPM

Due to global developments, the delivery times of new cars and commercial vehicles have increased considerably. Often up to about 12 months when you still have to place an order. By responding to this change, we have bought a large variety of new chassis in stock that can still be built and delivered in the future! Of course we have interesting demos and new horse trucks in stock on a continuous basis.
