When an employer provides a company car to an employee that can be used for private purposes, a solidarity contribution by the employer to the national office of social security is due.
The solidarity contribution is fixed and based on both the type of fuel as well as the CO2 emission of the car. For a number of cars, no CO2 emission is known by the Department Registration Vehicles (Belgium: DIV). For these cars, the CO2 emission is put on a par with 182 g/km for petrol engines and 165 g/km for diesel engines.
Detailed information about the calculation of the CO2-contribution valid as from 1 januari 2013 can be consulted in this document.
The formulas mentioned above are on an annual basis: you need to divide the outcome by 12 to arrive at the monthly amounts.
