How can we make some extra money in the coffers to bring….Ah yes, the motorist! For the last time far too easy.

The Dutch driver is a bit like the Greek ship owners that their assets somewhere in a tax haven tucked away: enjoy the nationality, but almost nothing to contribute to your country. Of that lousy 20 billion, you can hardly a couple of benefits to pay out, of course. It is high time that profiteers with their light burden a little from each other, it is no paradise here!

There should be extra money in the overheidslaatje, and an option to do this is to increase the BPM and the elimination of the motor vehicle tax exemption for ultrazuinige cars, according to RTL News based on a list of policy options that the opposition has been sent. The measures would be 250 million euros each pose.

If ‘return’ would have the planned tax increase on diesel and LPG not able to go, what a loss of about 300 million (that lobby sort quick effect say!). Fun for the can in the border, but scrolling with tax is not really solid policy, of course.

Has anyone better ideeënn to a couple of billion free, without herein, once the driver involve? Please send an email to j.dijsselbloem@minfin.nl. He will hear your suggestions undoubtedly like.
