Driving “ green ” means reducing the release of C0² produced by your vehicle into the atmosphere while significantly reducing fuel consumption. The hybrid car constitutes an interesting alternative to achieve this objective. What credit for the purchase of a hybrid vehicle?
Various incentive measures are taken both at the federal state level and in each region to encourage Belgian motorists to choose this type of vehicle. What are these bonuses and deductions? Follow the leader.
The ecobonus of the Wallonia region
A recent survey carried out by the car retailer Cardoen indicates that only 2.6% of Belgians plan to purchase a hybrid car. To encourage them, the Wallonia region is offering an ecobonus bonus of 2,500 euros for vehicles registered since January 1, 2013 whose CO² emission rate is between 0 and 20 g/km.
For a rate between 21 and 40 g/km, this premium is 2,000 euros. Between 41 and 50g/km, it drops to 1,500 euros, then to 500 euros for C0² emissions which fluctuate between 51 and 60g/km. Finally, if the car emits between 61 and 70 g/km of CO², the premium is reduced to only 250 euros. This bonus concerns hybrid vehicles whose catalog price does not exceed 30,000 euros .
Update on tax deductions
If the CO² emission per km does not exceed 105g, the Belgian motorist benefits from a tax reduction equivalent to 15 % of the purchase price of the car, an amount capped at 3 280 euros. On the contrary, if the rejection rate is between 105 and 115 g/km, the tax reduction is 3% of the purchase price, with a limit set at 615 euros.
This tax reduction occurs directly at the time of acquisition since it is deducted from the amount to be paid by the motorist.
Finally, companies benefit from a tax reduction of 90% if they use a hybrid vehicle to transport their employees. At the same time, they benefit from a relatively low level of their all-in-kind benefit (ATN) which is 55 euros, and benefits from a reduced taxable amount.
