Regional differences
Motor vehicle tax will increase in some provinces next year. The largest increase is in North Holland, although the MRB remains relatively the lowest there.
People with a petrol or diesel car will spend significantly more on motor vehicle tax, especially in North Holland, from 1 January. There, the provincial surcharges will increase by 9.5 percent. Despite the increase of an average of €22 per year, the MRB in North Holland remains the lowest of all provinces. In the other provinces the rates will not be increased or will be increased less, although this has yet to be officially recorded.
On average, the provincial surcharges are around 84 percent (of the basic rate). Not only car owners in North Holland but also in North Brabant and Utrecht get out relatively cheaply. In Drenthe, Groningen, Gelderland and South Holland the rate is above 90 percent. In the latter province, the rate is expected to increase from 95.7 percent to 98.7 percent. This makes South Holland the most expensive province. Groningen still occupies that place, but that province has decided to freeze the rate for the next four years.
