The duty/tax-free quotas for diplomatic purchases is in practice a tax-free fuel allowance granted for each calendar year, free of diplomatic duties, as regards purchases of fuel for vehicles registered in Belgium by the Belgian Protocol Directorate. Said authorised quotas are supposed to cover: the official needs of diplomatic missions (embassy, consulates, delegation, representations, organisations, etc.) and/or the personal/private use of diplomatic officials and administrative and technical staff members of diplomatic missions. However, said granted allowances may be reviewed unexpectedly by the Kingdom of Belgium Foreign Affairs, Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation Protocol Directorate as a result of various bilateral agreements on the international basis of ‘reciprocity’ rule.

TotalEnergies draw your attention to the obvious difference between the TotalEnergies DIPLOMATIC TAX-FREE FLEET CARD and the TotalEnergies Eurotrafic Fleet Card:

The TotalEnergies DIPLOMATIC TAX-FREE FLEET CARD gives access to the tax-free fuel. TotalEnergies Eurotrafic Fleet Card includes the local due taxes.

The answer to this question is negative. The rule is: you must be the owner of the vehicle that must register in Belgium: either normal number plates, or CD plates or even international Belgian number plates, in your personal/private name. As a result, you can chose among the different kind of plates.

The pin code that is sent to you is the code that you have chosen while generating the 136F form online. The pin code is also sent by postal mail to the headquarters of your diplomatic mission in Belgium.

If you enter a wrong PIN code three times, your fuel card will automatically be blocked for 24 hours.

In case you still don’t remember the PIN code of your Total tax-free fuel card, please contact the Total Diplomatic team by email: diplomatic.totalbelgium@totalenergies.com

. You will receive an envelope containing the PIN code or by email.

For security reasons, all postal mail and fuel cards will be delivered at the headquarters of your diplomatic mission in Belgium. Please contact us for more information:

The TotalEnergies DIPLOMATIC TAX-FREE FLEET CARD allows to collect fuel purchases within the ± 536 petrol stations of TotalEnergies and to generate an invoice for said purchases. This is the post-paid fuel card system, since you will only have to pay for your purchases after receiving the invoice, which in turn, will be paid through a SEPA direct debit mandate for the private/personal use. The diplomatic missions (i.e. embassy, consulates, delegation, representations, organisations, etc.) need to make a manual bank transfer.

After endorsement of your 136 F declaration by the Belgian General Administration of Customs and Excise, and only after that, we guarantee the delivery of your TotalEnergies DIPLOMATIC TAX-FREE FLEET CARD within four to five working days, at the latest.

When one of your TotalEnergies tax-free fuel card is lost or stolen, you must block it immediately by calling:

TotalEnergies +32 2 288 99 36 (during business hours and days),

Or TotalEnergies Card Stop Service +32 2 288 94 00 (24/24h – 7/7).

Each blocking request must be written confirmed via the CONTACT of the TotalEnergies DIPLOMATIC website or by e-mail diplomatic.totalbelgium@totalenergies.com

Mentioning your first and last name, client number, card number of lost or stolen card, as well as the telephone number and the time period during which you can be contacted.

I have number plates registered in another country, which is not Belgium, can I benefit from the TotalEnergies DIPLOMATIC TAX-FREE FLEET CARD?

The answer to this question is negative. Indeed, and despite the European directives, your personal/private vehicle must register in Belgium with: either normal number plates, or CD plates or even international number plates, in your personal/private name. As a result, vehicles registered outside Belgium do not qualify to the tax-free fuel quota/allowance.

As a result, vehicles registered in another country, which is not Belgium, do not benefit from the tax-free fuel year quota/allowance

The SEPA Direct Debit mandate is mandatory for individual customers using the TotalEnergies DIPLOMATIC TAX-FREE FLEET CARD for their ‘private/personal use’ linked to their personal/private vehicle. It is not mandatory to have a Belgian IBAN account. Indeed, if your bank has joined the SEPA Direct Debit Scheme, your tax-free fuel purchases can be direct debited from your most convenient European IBAN account.

The acronym SEPA stands for Single Euro Payments Area. This European direct debit system (also known as Core) allows individuals, businesses and organizations to use a single service in euros in many European countries, as long as their financial organization has joined the SEPA Scheme.

With this European direct debit mandate, your administrative tasks are simplified: payments happen automatically. In addition, your payments are always made on time and you avoid any surcharges for late payments.

Diplomatic missions (i.e. embassy, consulates, delegations, representations, organisation, etc.) can pay their invoices by a manual bank transfer or a direct debit.

For private/personal use, a diplomat or an administrative and technical staff members of diplomatic missions may request maximum two cards per private vehicle.

For the official use of the diplomatic missions (i.e. embassy, consulates, delegation, representations, organisations, etc.), the maximum number of TotalEnergies DIPLOMATIC TAX-FREE FLEET CARDS for official use may not exceed the number of diplomats in service within said diplomatic mission.
