Who must pay the tax?
The tax on fuel dispensers must be paid by owners of dispensers accessible from public roads, and from which any vehicle can be refuelled.
What is the amount of the tax?
The amount of the tax is (2026 index):
- €74.20 per fixed dispenser
- €14.90 per mobile dispenser (the tank, the counter and the supply system can be moved as a whole)
- €247.20 per automated dispenser (any pump connected to a device enabling payment transactions)
The tax is due annually and indivisible, and the situation taken into account is that on 1 January of the tax year.
How are you taxed?
The tax is calculated based on the data declared by the taxpayer.
Once this data is verified, Brussels Fiscality sends out the tax bills.
If the taxpayer fails to submit their declaration on time, or does not comply with their legal obligations, Brussels Fiscality will proceed to an estimated tax assessment based on the data available.
How to submit your annual declaration?
Each year, taxpayers must submit their declaration within 62 days of the date on which it is made available. Since the 2022 tax year, declarations should be submitted online via the Opens in new windowMyTax platform.
