On 1 January 2017, car taxes have been changed on a number of points. One of the changes is a reduction in the overall addition rate from 25% to 22%. However, Cars with a Date First Ascription (DET) before 2017 remain in the 25% category.
The Business Drivers Association (VZR) finds this tax discrimination. VZR has therefore started a procedure with the greatest urgency. A four-VZR members have been asked to participate in this procedure From the VZR members ' database. The Purpose of this procedure is to obtain a judgement from the Tax Court on whether this difference in addition does or does not result in unjustified unequal treatment of equal cases or in any other way contrary to the law or Treaties.
In the procedure both passenger and vans and both slightly older and newer cars are taken.
State of Play
The objections in these four situations are now at the Tax office. In the course of March or April, an appeal is expected to be submitted to the Court in the Hague.
Do you need to object?
With a new legal possibility of "preliminary questions" to the High Council, VZR hopes to obtain a court ruling on this tariefsverschil in a number of representative cases this year. Other drivers who are dealing with a similar situation can then, in their tax return income tax on the year 2017 (to be submitted in the spring of 2018), process the outcome of this procedure.
