This estimate includes import VAT in full. A VAT number does not automatically make vehicle VAT deductible: eligibility and the deductible share depend on the importing country, vehicle use, type and price. Business buyers should subtract only the VAT they have confirmed is recoverable when assessing net cost. Eligible businesses in Portugal and some other countries may account for import VAT on the return instead of paying at customs; this is not an exemption and does not itself grant a deduction.

EU duty 10% + VAT 21%; the registration tax differs in each of the three regions: Flanders has charged BEVs a flat €61.50 since 2026 (the BEV default here), PHEV / range-extender default to an estimated €150 and petrol to €1,000 — use the official calculator of the buyer's region and overwrite it; Chinese-spec cars need single-vehicle approval. Countervailing duty update (2026-10): without an invoice issued by a listed manufacturer and carrying the required declaration the rate is 35.3% for every maker; range-extender cars are included; a car counts as used only if registered for more than 6 months and driven more than 6,000 km.
