Frequently asked questions
What is the employer levy on company cars from 2027?
From 1 January 2027, an employer pays 12% of the list price per year for each petrol, diesel or hybrid car. A BV that employs its director is also an employer. The levy applies when the car is also driven privately. Cars the company already had before 2027 are exempt until 17 September 2030 under current law. The cabinet proposes to extend this to 31 December 2030. Electric cars are exempt. For cars of 25 years and older, the levy is based on the market value.
Can I avoid the employer levy with a trip log?
The levy stays, because for this levy commuting counts as private use. With a trip log, you can only avoid your own taxable benefit. For VAT, commuting is also private use, so the VAT correction stays. A trip log lets the business base it on the actual private kilometres and drop the fixed percentage of the list price.
