You have come to the Netherlands from Ukraine and brought a motor vehicle

Did you come to the Netherlands as a displaced person from Ukraine? If you have brought a car (or another motor vehicle) from Ukraine, your vehicle must have Dutch license plates as of March 5, 2025.

You also must pay Motor Vehicle Tax (in Dutch: MRB). How much MRB you need to pay depends on the vehicle. At belastingdienst.nl/mrb-berekenen (only available in Dutch) you can calculate how much MRB you will need to pay. You will automatically receive a notification from the Tax Administration of the Netherlands once your vehicle has Dutch licence plates.

In addition to MRB, there is also BPM in the Netherlands. You are likely eligible for an exemption for BPM, but you will need to apply for this exemption yourself.

You can read more about the Dutch license plates and taxes in the step-by-step plan.
