Vehicle tax: debit failed

This is how the direct debiting of the vehicle tax succeeds

• Anyone who wants to drive a car must at least register it with liability insurance and register it. You will then have to pay road tax.
• To do this, you either issue a direct debit authorization or you pay by invoice. If you pay the vehicle tax by invoice, the amount will not be debited from your account, but you will have to make a transfer. This is too inconvenient for most motorists, so choose the direct debit method.
• If you have given authorization for the direct debit procedure, you must ensure that your account has sufficient funds. If the amount in your account is too low, the debit will fail. On the other hand, the debit will be carried out successfully if the amount is in your account or the disposition area is larger than the amount for the direct debit.

• You are responsible for the successful debiting. If you do not have enough funds in your account, you will have to pay an additional processing fee.

Note the consequences of a failed debit 

• If you do not have sufficient funds in your account when the vehicle tax is debited, you will see on your account statements that the debit made has failed. The sum will then be credited back to you.


Pay by direct debit - this is how it works

There are a number of options for paying - you can use cash or an EC card ...

• You will receive mail in the following days and you will be informed that the vehicle tax has not been debited and you will be informed of the next debit date. This appointment is usually two weeks after the unsuccessful charge.
• Make sure you have enough funds in your account at this point.
• Since you are responsible for the unsuccessful debit, you will be charged the processing fees.
• In the future, always make sure that your account has sufficient funds or choose the payment method by invoice. So you can choose for yourself when you pay the vehicle tax in the specified billing period.
