You may be entitled to a refund of vehicle tax if e.g. your vehicle has changed ownership or been decommissioned.

Excess vehicle tax is reimbursed through the next tax bill unless you apply for a refund.

A refund can be issued if:

  • the car is decommissioned or removed from the register
  • the taxpayer changes
  • the information marked on the register changes such that the vehicle becomes exempt from tax or the amount of tax due is reduced
  • the taxpayer is exempt from vehicle tax

Use the electronic service to provide the account number for the tax refund.
