Please Note

*Electric cars and vans are exempt from BIK tax up to 31st December 2024

For the years 2023 – 2025
The BIK on electric vehicles will be calculated based on the actual open market value of the vehicle reduced by:

• €35,000 for vehicles made available in the 2023 tax year
• €20,000 for vehicles made available in the 2024 tax year
• €10,000 for vehicles made available in the 2025 tax year

This reduction applies irrespective of the actual OMV of the vehicle or when the vehicle was first provided to the employee.
If the reduction reduces the OMV to nil, a BIK charge will not arise. Any portion of OMV remaining, after the reduction is applied, is chargeable to benefit-in-kind at the prescribed rates.
