The Walloon Government has approved a revision to the road tax law (TMC) aiming to reduce the tax burden for large families, single-parent families, vintage car owners, and electric vehicle users.
Initially introduced by the previous government, from 1st July large families will receive a €250 reduction on their vehicle circulation tax – applicable for one vehicle per family regardless of its motor type or whether it is new or used.
Single-parent families receiving the ‘mono’ supplementary allowance will also benefit from a €250 tax reduction per vehicle starting from 1st July 2026, but this discount cannot be combined with the reduction for large families.
Vintage cars will be subject to a minimum flat rate of €61.50 for their circulation tax, contrary to the 2023 reform that would have imposed several hundred euros in tax. The government aims to avoid penalising this tightly regulated sector financially.
For most fully electric vehicles, the taxation formula will change, reducing the energy coefficient by 0.08 for city cars, medium-sized cars, and family cars. However, no changes will be made for limousines, sports cars, and super sports cars.
