Historical background

On January 21, 2011, the three Regions of Belgium (Flanders, Brussels and Wallonia) signed a Political Agreement on the reform of their road tax system. The agreement envisages the introduction of an intelligent kilometre charging system for HGVs and over time a mechanism for the effective use of cars. The agreement also provides a reform of the road taxes, which will in time be based on the environmental specifications of the vehicle.
