TIPS & TRICKS for better fuel prices in Belgium ⛽ 💲 💲

Did you know that Belgium is one of the countries where list prices are practiced? The price is officially determined by the Belgian government and differs from the one displayed at the pump.

YOU CAN FIND HERE ALL THE LIST PRICES IN BELGIUM

Your DKV card is accepted in networks such as G&V, AVIA, TEXACO, Q8, LUKOIL & ESSO EXPERSS.

ROAD TAXES IN BELGIUM

Belgium uses a satellite charging system for goods vehicles with a total permissible weight exceeding 3.5 tonnes (excluding buses and passenger vehicles) and, from 1 April 2016, the obligation has been imposed that each local vehicle, or foreign freight transport, over 3.5 tons, be equipped with a functional board unit (OBU) on Belgian roads.

It is important to know that the Belgian toll system includes the road network divided into 3 regions: Flanders, Brussels and Wallonia. Different rates apply in the taxable areas, all charges being recorded by the satellite unit. VAT does not apply to the regions of Flanders and Brussels. Only in the Wallonia region is the toll with VAT.

For this purpose, Satellic (the main charging operator in Belgium) requests for the on-board unit (OBU) the payment of a guarantee in the amount of 135 euros, which will be returned upon return of the on-board device.

Of course, as a holder of the DKV Box Europe charging device, you do not have to pay this guarantee. In addition to Belgium, it also offers the possibility to pay the toll in: Germany, Austria, France, Spain, Portugal and Bulgaria.

 

REQUESTS REFUND OF EXCISE DUTY ON DIESEL FUEL

We also inform you that you can claim a refund of excise duty on diesel paid in Belgium. The condition for reimbursement is that the vehicles have a minimum total permissible weight of 7.5 tonnes.

For more details on excise duty recovery please contact your Affinity agent.
