Today is the Bijltjesdag in the Second Room. Secretary of state Wiebes (Finance) should explanation to give on the revenue from the tax increase. Or better said: the lack of income. Because there is again much less than expected.
There is less earned on petrol-excise duty
We know from this week that last year, much less tanked in the Netherlands, because your car looking across the border a lot more attractive. Now the question is what that effect has on the accijnsopbrengsten. However, Wiebes know his numbers, as always, nice and rosy on paper. Over the first eleven months of 2014 the excise duty on diesel and LPG actually earn more. 96 million euros more than the year before, to be exact. However, if we look at the accijnsopbrengst from petrol watch, we see a decrease of 45 million euro compared to the year before.
But Autoblog, we come not to a plus of € 51 million? Yes, but was held in september Wiebes the country even before the accijnswinst 150 million euros would have been. Other estimates being even on a extra revenue of 200 million euro. [Sadtrombone.mp4]
The SP and the CDA with accijnshat0r @PieterOmtzigt in the forefront – to make out the figures of Wiebes note that between may and november, understand, 27 million euros less on fuel-excise taxes are received. They find that he has the numbers to bright presents.
How to proceed?
That asked Pieter Omtzigt on Twitter also, now it seems that the tax increase on petrol will have the opposite effect. The government is the rollback? But of course not! In place of his own faalbeleid to do, hopes The Wieb that Belgium is the dieselaccijns increases in an attempt the over-the-border-tankers to thwart. The PvdA wants to turn at Luxembourg the same request.
The falling brandstofverkoop in the picture. Because Wiebes the figures do not wanted to give the CDA they themselves, but at the CBS away, picked and in a graph. And, of course, on the sociaalmedia shared. Trololol. To use the words of Omtzigt to speak: how clear can it be?
