How much tax do you pay on motorhomes in Belgium?
That there are many taxes in Belgium is no secret. Fortunately, motorhomes are somewhat of an exception. Both Flanders and Wallonia offer relatively favorable rates when it comes to road tax on motorhomes. However, the tax rates and calculation methods differ between Flanders and Wallonia.
Flanders
1. Annual road tax:
In Flanders, the annual road tax for motorhomes is calculated based on the Maximum Authorised Mass (MAM).
The rates for the annual road tax are as follows:
| MTM | Bedrag |
|---|---|
| 0 - 1500 kg | 92,40 euro |
| 1500 - 3500 kg | 132,00 euro |
| 3501 - 7999 kg | 145,20 euro |
| 8000 - 10999 kg | 184,80 euro |
| 11000 kg and higher | 290,40 euro |
For motorhomes that can be driven with a category B driving license (up to 3.5 tons), the tax amounts to €132.00. If you purchase a motorhome that requires a C1 license (up to 7,500 kg), the amount is €145.20.
Is the vehicle leased? Leasing companies pay the rate for light commercial vehicles, provided the motorhome does not exceed 3.5 tons.
2. Registration tax
The biggest advantage in Flanders is related to the registration tax. This tax does not have to be paid in Flanders.
Wallonia
1. Annual road tax
The annual road tax is determined by the engine displacement. Since this varies for each motorhome we’ve provided two realistic examples.
- For a motorhome with an engine displacement of 1995 cc, the tax amounts to €211.36.
- If your motorhome has an engine size of 2197 cc, you will pay €259.88.
2. Registration tax
On May 28, 2025, the Walloon Parliament officially approved the reform of the registration tax. The new regulations will take effect on July 1, 2025.
Starting from that date, the tax will be based on several factors: engine power, age of the motorhome, CO₂ emissions, maximum authorized mass (MTM), and fuel type. This new calculation method clearly results in a more favorable tax regime.
Here is an example:
| Example of a new motorhome – 2184 cc – 103 kw – 249 CP² | ||
|---|---|---|
| Before July 1, 2025 | From July 1, 2025 | |
| Registration tax | €867,00 | €303,00 |
| Eco-Malus | €2000,00 | €700,00 |
| Total | €2867,00 | €1003,00 |
