According to this https://www.government.nl/topics/car...rcycle-tax-bpm you have to pay a BPM tax for every new car, not only for the cars coming from Germany. Sounds more like an environmental tax, so this is not really an import tax.. two different things. This one is to motivate people to buy low emission cars. |
That is just an import tax that they called bpm and there is a seperate import tax also. And they lower the bpm tax a bit when you buy a clean car. That is why tax payers paid for the german fraudulent cars that poluted more than they said. Germany has a big% of the Dutch carmarket.
But now you understand why i said call that import tax "green tax" and you can fool everybody that it isn't an import tax. But in the end you pay more and that money goes to the government. And it won't be used for the environment. And the result is the same.
PS, for years there is the discussion that the dutch bpm is ellegal looking at European laws. But everytime our government agrees with the EU, except when Dutch people would profit from it. Than they try to block that EU law with tricks.
