Is the new traffic tax beneficial for you or is it better to stick with the old scheme? Check it here

Starting today, Flemish residents can check if the new vehicle tax reform is beneficial for them through a dedicated website. The reform, effective in 2027, will simplify the tax structure based on vehicle weight and CO2 emissions. Users can compare their current tax with the new one using their license plate and registration date. Most vehicle owners are expected to pay less under the new system, while exceptions apply for electric vehicles and old-timers. Additionally, a road vignette will be introduced in 2027, requiring all drivers to contribute to infrastructure costs, with fees varying based on emissions. Transparency is emphasized in this reform process.
