One rate for everyone. Except for EV’s.

Ambiance in bijtellingsland! A group of interest groups, consisting of the ANWB, BOVAG, Nature & Environment, RAI Association and the Dutch Association for Dutch Autoleasemaatschappijen, does a letter with a call to state secretary Wiebes of Finance for the bijtellingsstelsel thoroughly revised.

The Autobrief II measures for the period 2017-2020 is to come, and they hope yet to impact on exercise. The main focus is that the many years of wrangling, with different rates must stop. Stronger: the car taxes to simplify, they want that there are only two tariffs left.

7% surcharge for all-electric cars
20 or 21% surcharge for the rest

Currently there are 5 rates, 4, 7, 14, 20 and 25 percent. This includes a lot of cars just or just within the affordable rates, what a huge effect it can have on the sale of a model in the Netherlands. Soon going to have this same drawn for everybody, except cars with 100% electric drive.

To elektromobiliteit to continue to encourage a Innovation/EV-fund, money moves in the direction of buyers of (semi-)electric cars. This fund would be annually about €250 million of grants to provide. In exports, should the grant be repaid:

Creation of such a fund makes reduction of the generic control over the tax on semi-electric cars as possible, and relieves the Tax authorities. This is also consistent with the recommendation of the General Court in the verantwoordingsonderzoek 2014. The fund may both companies, institutions and individuals to claim. The fund encourages through targeted aankoopsubsidie the purchase of electric and semi-electric cars. The stimulating semi-electric cars in 2020 will be terminated. The fund focuses on maximising the share of electrically driven kilometres. The fund provides also in a stimulation of used electric and semi-electric cars from the period before Autobrief 2, to these cars in the Netherlands and to achieve the targets.

Continue to cheer them step-by-step abolition of BPM, provided that this does not lead to higher excise taxes and a higher vehicle tax leads (cute, that naivety). They have the numbers not yet passed, so driving there is cheaper or more expensive is not yet known.
