A double cab company van is a smart choice for many entrepreneurs: you transport both people and materials, and yet you want to keep the tax burden as low as possible. But what exactly about the additional tax rate? And which models come out most favourable?<\/p>\n

Whether you want to buy a small van, are considering a double-cab van<\/a> lease, or just want to know what the tax rules mean for your situation: in this article, we answer the most frequently asked questions. Step by step, concrete and straightforward.<\/p>\n

What is additional tax on a company bus with double cab?<\/h2>\n

Additional taxable income is the amount you have to add to your taxable income if you also use a business vehicle privately. In the case of a company bus with double cabin, an additional taxable income percentage applies to the catalogue value of the vehicle. How high that percentage is depends on the type of drive and tax classification of the vehicle.<\/p>\n

The tax authorities distinguish between vans and passenger cars. This distinction is particularly relevant for double cabs, as a double cab can be classified as one or the other depending on the cargo space and the number of seats. That difference determines which additional tax rate applies.<\/p>\n

For a regular diesel or petrol van, an additional tax rate of 16% usually applies. More favourable rates apply to an electric commercial vehicle. If the vehicle is classified as a passenger car, the rates are higher. So it is not only the model that counts, but also the official classification with the RDW.<\/p>\n

Which double cab company buses have the lowest additional tax rate?<\/h2>\n

Electric double-cab commercial buses have the lowest additional tax rate. Think of models such as the Volkswagen Transporter double cabin electric, the Ford Transit Custom PHEV or the Renault Trafic E-Tech Electric. Fully electric vehicles are subject to a reduced addition rate over the first tranche of the catalogue value, which significantly reduces the monthly tax burden.<\/p>\n

Besides electric variants, there are also double cabs on diesel that are relatively favourable. Models classified as vans by the RDW benefit from the lower addition rate of 16% instead of the 22% applicable to passenger cars. Well-known examples are the Volkswagen Transporter double cab, the Mercedes-Benz Vito Tourer Pro and the Citro\u00ebn Berlingo double cab.<\/p>\n
