After the increase of the brandstofaccijns drive motorists flocking across the border to refuel. In February, it was 39% less diesel is sold and for LPG were the figures are even sadder.

That report, the Bovag and NOVE today. They are of great concern to the operators at the border that their revenues now for the second month in a row, a significant plummet compared to last year. Diesel was, as it said 39% less sold, LPG was even 42% less filling, and when gasoline was a decrease of 18%, all compared to the same month last year. In January, the decrease amounted to 24%, lpg 27% and gas 20%, so overall it seems the decline in severity. This while many politicians after the figures from the previous month, said that the negative effect probably would be ebony.

The reduction (the total reduction to fuels decreased throughout the Netherlands with 84 million gallons of t.o.v. February 2013), means that the treasury can whistle to 42.8 million euro. The treasury is not the tax increase would benefit, it seems. Or the tax increase now will more quickly be reversed is the question, the government has indicated that the measure in any case three months to evaluate. Only in may there will be a decision taken on the matter, reasonably late if you ask us. And to the tankstationhouders.
