LUXERY TAX INFO
Explain how the luxury tax (BPM) works.
Cheap used cars early in the Netherlands.
Because the Netherlands has a luxury tax levied on passenger cars, the Dutch car company faced unfair competition for selling export cars in Europe for a long time.
Since February 2007, this has changed. To ensure free trade within the European Union, the Dutch government arranged the BPM refund scheme regarding the reimbursement of the luxury tax.
Through this arrangement, the Dutch BPM vendor can reclaim the tax. This scheme applies to cars registered in the Netherlands on or after 16-10-2006.
The Dutch luxury tax vendor may subsequently recover the tax, but it requires proof of registration in another EEA country (EU States plus Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein). The scheme is subject to various conditions and varies by country.
It offers opportunities for us as a company to provide you with very low-cost, high-quality used cars.
