Temporary 22.3% discount on the Dutch truck charge
From 01-09-2026 up to and including 31-12-2026 a temporary discount of 22.3% applies to the Dutch truck charge (vrachtwagenheffing). The discount is set out in a policy decision in the Government Gazette (Staatscourant) and applies to the whole rate, not as a fixed amount per kilometre.

And after that?
From 01-01-2027 the discount ends. The rates of 01-07-2026 then apply, increased by 2.6% indexation. A trip you plan now for January will therefore cost noticeably more. See Dutch truck charge 2027.
Calculating with and without the discount
In the Tolmijden route planner the discount is switched on by default while it applies. With a single switch you calculate without the discount, for example for a quote that runs past the turn of the year.
