Do I need to pay BPM for my car? Thanks
Discussion
Hello,
I'm moving to the Netherlands in January for work for a few years. I would really like to take my car over with me.
The car:
BMW 3 series 2L. 5 years old, i have owned it for 8 months.
I have done some research, it looks like there are three types of taxes to be paid: turnover tax, custom tax and BPM. Since i'm taking my car over from the UK, i believe i don't have to pay the turnover and custom tax. However the rule on BPM is not very clear.
I tried to call them using the number on the tax office website, but couldn't get through. I also tried a few other places, they all directed me back to the tax office.
anyway, i really hope you could help me with this:
Do i need to pay BPM for my car? (and i'm not going to sell it)
Do i have to get a Dutch number plate?
How much road tax do i have to pay per year? is it a lot more than the UK?
Is the insurance cost similar to the UK?
Many thanks,
G

hiya, thank you for replying. i will be moving to the Hague. i know the public transport is very good, but i like the convenience of having a car.
if i don't make it official then I'm not covered by the insurance? i checked with my current insurance company, they can only cover me for 60 days in the Netherlands.
so i guess the question is: is it possible to get car insurance in the Netherlands for a UK car?
Do i have to pay extra to change to Dutch number plate?
Many thanks,
G
