Pickup in a sole proprietor

DO
2025-06-04

Question

According to my insurer, you can no longer register a pickup truck as a sole proprietor. Unfortunately, this information came after I purchased one. At first, this was not a problem according to the insurer, until they had to fill in the pink form…

Now, according to them, it was possible to register the vehicle to the business and to declare its professional use in order to obtain the tax benefit on the registration and road tax.

Has anyone done this before, because I can’t find anything from here?

Hi DO,

It will definitely be possible in your sole proprietor, at least as a passenger car. And as far as I know, even as a light goods vehicle, provided that it has an enclosed cab and the load space is at least 50% from the wheelbase.

It seems that something has indeed changed in 2023 for private persons, but not for self-employed people who are users and use it professionally, at least according to what I read on https://www.practicali.be/blog/afschaffing-fiscaal-gunstregime-from-pick-ups-for private persons-vanaf-1-januari-2023-in-vlaanderen

As I understand it, I don't need to arrange anything regarding road tax.For light goods vehicles (type pick-ups) used for professional purposes, nothing will change. In concrete terms, this means that light goods vehicles (type pick-ups) are registered in the name of a taxpayer (natural person or legal entity) who is themselves registered with the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises. This objective criterion ensures that no distinction is made based on the taxpayer's economic activity. Simply registering the vehicle in the name of the legal entity or natural person who is self-employed is sufficient. This condition does not require any additional administrative procedures for the taxpayer. The administration will apply the preferential rate in an automatic manner. The company number is an objective criterion that is easy to check.
