Abstract: In this paper we develop a model for the analysis of the impacts of a reform of car taxation in Flanders, one of the three regions in Belgium. We present an empirically based model that can be used to simulate the impacts of a car tax reform on new car purchases in Flanders. In the first part of the paper we estimate a demand model for new cars on the basis of detailed information at market level for cars sold. Next, we use the estimation results to simulate the effects of a reform in car taxation.
