The Netherlands has 1,3 million business drivers. They have a company car and pay for it addition about or keep a trip registration The Business Drivers Association (VZR) represents the interests of all business drivers and believes that the current additional tax system is unfair.

Too much additional tax

The average business driver drives 34.000 km per year. Of this, 17.000 km is commuting, 12.000 km is private, and 5.000 km is for business appointments. Calculation models by VZR, using values ​​such as net additional tax liability and fuel consumption, show that a car costing €35.000 in additional tax liability is paid for 44.000 km, while on average, only 12.000 km is driven privately. Compared to the 22 percent additional tax liability, VZR believes this is unfair and that we are paying too much in additional tax liability. Therefore, a pilot program for variable additional tax liability has been launched.

Variable addition

With the variable additional tax liability, you pay based on usage. The goal is to encourage you to be more critical about your own private mileage and become more aware of your choices. This makes private driving in a company car fairer. Low private use results in a lower additional tax liability; high private use results in a higher additional tax liability. The variable additional tax liability pilot program is part of the Delta Plan 2030 and aims to investigate whether employees with a company car choose other modes of transportation for business trips if they are given a tax incentive. The pilot program begins on August 1, 2020.

Trip registration

Would you rather not pay any additional tax at all? With a trip registration system All journeys are automatically recorded in the car. You sign a 'Declaration of no private use of car' and you can use the mileage log to prove that the company car has been driven no more than 500 km privately annually. This can save you hundreds of euros per year.
