With a business car, you deduct the car expenses and account for any addition to income. With a private car, you deduct a fixed amount per business kilometre. You cannot always make the choice yourself:<\/p><ul><li>Do you use the car for business purposes for 90% or more? If so, it must be classified as business assets.<\/li><li>That also applies if you drive more business than private kilometres and drive a maximum of 500 private kilometres on an annual basis.<\/li><li>Do you use the car for 90% or more for private purposes? If so, this is classified as private assets.<\/li><li>In the other situations, the car is a matter of choice.<\/li><\/ul><p>The name on the vehicle registration document does not determine this tax choice. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.belastingdienst.nl\/wps\/wcm\/connect\/bldcontentnl\/belastingdienst\/zakelijk\/winst\/inkomstenbelasting\/inkomstenbelasting_voor_ondernemers\/vermogensetikettering-bedrijfsmiddel\">Dutch Tax and Customs Administration sets out the rules for asset labelling<\/a> out. For VAT purposes, you assess the choice separately.<\/p><h2><strong>Company car<\/strong><\/h2><p>If you count the car as part of your business assets, you put it on the balance sheet. You process the car costs, depreciation and any corrections for private use in your bookkeeping.<\/p><h3><strong>Deductible car expenses<\/strong><\/h3><p>Car costs include, among other things:<\/p><ul><li>Fuel<\/li><li>Maintenance and repair<\/li><li>Insurance<\/li><li>Road tax<\/li><li>Parking charges<\/li><li>Depreciation<\/li><li>Tolls, road vignettes and car washes<\/li><\/ul><p>VAT that you can reclaim does not count as profit costs. The conditions for VAT deduction and the correction for private use are set out below.<\/p><h3><strong>Deducting purchase costs<\/strong><\/h3><p>You do not deduct the purchase price all at once. You depreciate the car over its expected useful life, taking into account the residual value and the tax maximum. Interest on business financing can be an expense; repayment is not.<\/p><p>Standard passenger cars that are not intended for professional transport are excluded from the KIA. An electric car does not automatically grant the right to an environmental benefit: for this, the investment must comply with an applicable scheme and code.<\/p><h3><strong>Taxable benefit for private use<\/strong><\/h3><p>If you drive more than 500 kilometres privately per calendar year in a company car, you process <a href=\"https:\/\/vanpasse.nl\/en\/knowledge-base\/taxes\/sick-pay\/\">addition<\/a> in your profit. If you can demonstrate that you drive a maximum of 500 kilometres for private purposes, for example with a comprehensive mileage log, the additional tax liability does not apply. For an entrepreneur, the correction is no higher than the total car costs, including depreciation.<\/p><h4><strong>Electric car advantage<\/strong><\/h4><p>For a standard fully electric car first registered in 2026, the addition to taxable income is 18% of the catalogue value up to \u20ac30,000 and 22% of the amount above that. Earlier percentages may still apply to older cars during the 60-month period. Hydrogen cars and certain solar-powered cars are exempt from the \u20ac30,000 cap. Check the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.belastingdienst.nl\/wps\/wcm\/connect\/bldcontentnl\/belastingdienst\/zakelijk\/winst\/inkomstenbelasting\/veranderingen-inkomstenbelasting-2026\/bijtelling-privegebruik-auto-2026\">benefit-in-kind rules for 2026<\/a> for your car. An electric car is not automatically exempt from bpm.<\/p><h3><strong>Youngtimer scheme<\/strong><\/h3><p>In 2026, a tax addition of 35% will apply to cars over 16 years old, calculated on the basis of their market value. If you were already using the car in 2025 and it was more than 15 years old on 31 December 2025, a transitional arrangement applies. Read the explanation about the <a href=\"https:\/\/vanpasse.nl\/en\/knowledge-base\/taxes\/youngtimer-scheme\/\">youngtimer scheme<\/a> before you compare solely by age.<\/p><h2><strong>Business driving with your private car<\/strong><\/h2><p>Do you use a private car for your business? No taxable benefit for private use applies. Instead, you may deduct a <a href=\"https:\/\/vanpasse.nl\/en\/knowledge-base\/deductions\/mileage-allowance-zzp\/\">kilometre allowance<\/a> of \u20ac0.25 per business kilometre from your profit in 2026.<\/p><h3><strong>Mileage allowance<\/strong><\/h3><p>This allowance applies to all business journeys: to clients, suppliers, appointments and even to your regular workplace (for example, your studio or office). You cannot deduct separate expenses with this, because the \u20ac0.25 per kilometre covers everything: fuel, maintenance, insurance, depreciation, parking and tolls. Parking and tolls cannot therefore be deducted from your profit again.<\/p><h3><strong>Mileage tracking<\/strong><\/h3><p>To claim the mileage deduction, keep a <a href=\"https:\/\/vanpasse.nl\/en\/knowledge-base\/administration\/trip-registration-zzp\/\">trip registration<\/a> . For each journey, record:<\/p><ul><li>Date<\/li><li>Start and end location<\/li><li>Number of kilometres<\/li><li>Purpose of the ride<\/li><\/ul><p>There are several apps that track this automatically or manually. Make sure your records are correct, as you will need to be able to prove this when audited.<\/p><h3><strong>Table of advantages and disadvantages<\/strong><\/h3><p>This comparison is about the choice of income tax. You assess the VAT separately.<\/p><table><thead><tr><th>Section<\/th><th>Company car<\/th><th>Business use of private car<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Profit costs<\/td><td>Car costs and depreciation, with any private use adjustment<\/td><td>\u20ac0.25 per business kilometre in 2026; no separate car costs in addition<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Taxable benefit for private use<\/td><td>As a rule, with more than 500 private kilometres per year<\/td><td>No addition to income tax for benefit in kind<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Administration<\/td><td>Justifying costs, balance and use<\/td><td>Substantiating business mileage<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>VAT<\/td><td colspan=\"2\">Separate assessment of VAT option, invoice, taxed turnover and private use<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><h2><strong>Calculating car expenses: business or private?<\/strong><\/h2><p>First compare whether you have freedom of choice.

That difference is a difference in fiscal profit, not directly your net tax advantage. Also take into account the actual expenses and your tax position. For this, use the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kvk.nl\/geldzaken\/rekentool-auto-van-de-zaak\/\">KVK company car calculator<\/a> and check the tax year.<\/p><h2><strong>VAT: a separate choice<\/strong><\/h2><p>Your choice for income tax does not automatically determine the choice for VAT. If the car is registered as a business asset for VAT, the VAT on purchase, maintenance and use may be deductible to the extent that you use the car for taxed turnover and meet the invoice requirements. Private use requires a correction. Commuting is considered private use for VAT purposes, whereas it is considered a business expense for income tax purposes.<\/p><p>If you treat the car as private for VAT purposes, you assess the VAT on maintenance and use based on the use for taxed turnover. Simply stating that the car is private for income tax purposes is therefore insufficient to exclude purchase VAT. Read how you <a href=\"https:\/\/vanpasse.nl\/en\/knowledge-base\/taxes\/private-use-of-car-vat\/\">calculate VAT for private use of the car<\/a>.<\/p><h2><strong>Business lease or buy<\/strong><\/h2><p>For <a href=\"https:\/\/vanpasse.nl\/en\/knowledge-base\/taxes\/leasing-a-business-car\/\">business leasing<\/a> does the lease type determine the accounting treatment:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Financial lease:<\/strong> Typically, the car is on the balance sheet. You process depreciation and interest separately; the repayment reduces the liability and is not an expense.<\/li><li><strong>Operational lease:<\/strong> You process the business lease instalments as expenses and do not depreciate the car itself.<\/li><li><strong>Private lease<\/strong> For business trips, you will deduct \u20ac0.25 per kilometre from your profit in 2026, without additionally deducting the lease instalments.<\/li><\/ul><p>For a company lease car, the rules for addition to income and VAT for private use remain important. Also compare duration, maintenance agreements, permitted mileage and termination costs.<\/p><h2><strong>Motorbike on business<\/strong><\/h2><p>A business motorcycle partially follows different rules. For private use, there is no fixed car addition percentage: you correct based on actual costs and private use. You must be able to substantiate that use. For a private motorcycle in 2026, \u20ac0.25 per business kilometre applies.<\/p><h2><strong>Can you change the choice later?<\/strong><\/h2><p>When it comes to the right of election, you can generally revise your choice as long as the tax assessment for the election year has not yet become irrevocable. After that, this is only possible in the event of special circumstances. You are therefore unable to switch freely every year simply because a different outcome appears more advantageous.<\/p><p>Do you want to include the processing of your car in your bookkeeping? <a href=\"https:\/\/vanpasse.nl\/en\/pricing\/\">Check out what is included with Van Passe's accounting package<\/a> and discuss your car, usage and purchase details.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Buying a car through your business or privately affects your costs, benefit-in-kind and VAT.
