The reason for this? Additional tax liability.

The Dutch government still with dry eyes claims that we are the requirement of 200,000 (semi-)electric cars by 2020, just go get, it seems the tax policy exactly the reverse to achieve. Bijtellingsvoordeeltjes for leaserts of a hybrid or EV be zoetjesaan reduced, and that of course has its impact on the car sales.

So, the past few years in the month of december is busy at the dealers, because the subsidy tap systematically at 1 January of the following year a little further closed for the night. And then you of course want to have a quick favourable bijteller score, because then you sit there for the next five years in each case, well-to-do.

Last december, happened exactly that and so it is now up to the Dutch car – and motorcycles to count on a considerable decline in turnover. Figures from the CBS substantiate this assumption. In addition, seem to dealers the head to hang down, as business confidence according to the statistics-cowboys decreases. That has to do with not to overly rosy revenue projections, which makes sense considering the dramatic sell in the month of January of this year.

The master computers of Autoblog to expect at the end of this year, moreover, a run on favorable bijtellers. This would be the sale in January 2017, in each deposit, which, in turn, have adverse consequences for business confidence of dealers. But pin is not fixed.
