Association of Business Drivers (VZR), a party that stands up for the interests of business drivers, appeals to the Dutch cabinet.
Anyone who receives an electric car in 2020 and who wants to drive for business, pays an additional 8 percent on the first € 45,000 of the tax price. This tax advantage is gradually being phased out and, according to current planning, the tax authorities will switch to an additional tax rate for EVs of 12 percent in 2021, namely the first € 40,000 of the tax price. Association of Business Drivers (VZR), a representative of the Dutch business driver, calls on the cabinet to postpone the change to 12 percent additional tax for one year and addition tax standard for EVs that currently applies (8% over the first € 45,000). 2021.
VZR makes the appeal due to the fact that virtually all major car manufacturers have closed their factory gates in Europe and often beyond because of the possible further spread of the corona virus. This of course has consequences for car production and therefore also for the delivery of cars with an electric drive train. Logically, VZR predicts a strong run on EVs before the end of the year. If VZR gets its way, it means that only in 2022 12 percent additional tax on the first € 40,000 of the tax value of an EV need to be paid.
Chairman Jan van Delft sees it as follows: “Stopping production certainly poses a problem for the EV-producing brands, but also for the drivers. Time is needed to ensure that all reservations can also be delivered. A threshold of an increased addition does not fit in with this. If the Eurovision Song Contest can reschedule for a year, then we can do that with the addition! ”
