If we are somewhere there used to be is that public policy in the Netherlands a huge impact on the car market. If the abolition of the 14% bijtellingstarief truth is, we can have our chest making it wet. Next year is a bumper year and 2016 is a big drama.

The second autobrief that there is going to come up, deals with, namely, to tax car policies from 1 January 2016. If the rockets and champagnekurken the air in the first minute of 2016, some of the cars in terms of additional tax liability in one fell swoop 78,5% more expensive. In fact, almost a doubling(!) of the expenses (lease car drivers).

The rumors are that now from The Hague is that for all the cars (perhaps the cars with a plug) a uniform rate of 25% (or maybe 22%) tax is introduced. That has quite an impact: not only for the 14%, but also for the 20% bijtellingsauto. That will be twenty-five percent more expensive in terms of additional tax liability.

Anyone who also just may be, will still be a car with a more favourable bijtellingsplaatje try to score. That must be before 31 december 2015, so the government is again succeeded in the car market greatly disrupt. Congratulations. Take you not only to become rich, because the extra desired income will, in 2016, will need the UNEMPLOYMENT insurance benefits to pay the employees of the car companies that go bankrupt.

In summary:
– The end/ whole of 2015, there is a huge run on 14% (and perhaps 20%) bijtellingsauto.

– In 2016, the market is kneiterhard down, because many of the purchases are being dragged forward.

– Also in the years after this policy change impact, because a lot of leaserijders will try longer in their car with a 14% surcharge to continue driving.
