Calculate BPM refund for export


The free export BPM calculator allows you to quickly calculate how much BPM you will be refunded when you export a vehicle. This calculator has been adapted to the fixed depreciation table of 1 January 2010 and is only available in Dutch.

Am I eligible for a refund?
In the case of the export of a passenger car, delivery van or motorcycle, you may under certain conditions receive a BPM refund. The vehicle needs to be registered in the Netherlands on or after 16 October 2006. It is only possible to receive a BPM refund if the vehicle is exported to a country within the EEA, that is to say a member state of the European Union or Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein.

How will the refund amount be calculated?
The BPM amount that the tax authorities can refund is determined by the gross BPM amount, the age of the vehicle at the time of export, the period that the vehicle has been registered in the Netherlands, and whether there has been any case of an earlier BPM refund or exemption (consider taxis, delivery vans, and moved commodities, for instance). The last Dutch owner is required to submit a refund request to his/her tax office no later than 13 weeks after registering the vehicle for export and to present the required items of proof.
