Registration tax of an electric car by region
- Wallonia: the same formula as other cars, with CO2 / X = 1 and an energy coefficient by power: 0,01 up to 120 kW, 0,10 up to 155 kW, 0,18 up to 249 kW and 0,26 from 250 kW. A small electric car pays the 50 € minimum, a heavy and powerful one over 1,000 euros.
- Brussels: a fixed 78,88 €, whatever the power or age.
- Flanders: a flat 61,50 € (BIV) for an electric or hydrogen car registered from 1 January 2026. Those registered earlier stay exempt.
Comparison for a new electric car
Estimated registration tax (in bold) and annual road tax for an electric car registered new this year. The exact amount depends on the power (P.2) and maximum authorised mass (F.2) on the registration certificate.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small electric city car | 65 | 1 650 kg | 62 €+ 107 € / year | 79 €+ 107 € / year | 50 €+ 107 € / year |

Annual road tax of an electric car
- Wallonia: the 107,18 € minimum a year.
- Brussels: the 107,18 € minimum a year.
- Flanders: 107,16 € a year for an electric or hydrogen car registered from 1 January 2026; those registered earlier are exempt.
Plug-in hybrids and leasing
- A plug-in hybrid is not an electric car for tax purposes: it pays according to its CO2 emissions (the charge-sustaining value in Wallonia, the weighted value in Flanders).
- A leased electric car pays the registration tax of the leasing company's region; in Brussels it is 61,50 €.
