Pay according to use or simply road pricing: in 2030 the tax system for motorists will be overhauled and we will pay per kilometer and no longer a fixed amount per month, quarter or year. Little by little, more and more is becoming known about the measure. With the latest information, it is possible to calculate approximately what the price per kilometer for road pricing will be.
According to the NRC the ‘budget neutral’ levy will be introduced. Currently, the government earns more than 4 billion euros per year from road tax. According to Statistics Netherlands, the Dutch drove a total of 103.4 billion kilometers last year. The NRC reasons that the price per kilometer for road pricing is a small 4 cents per kilometer must be.
According to the CBS, a Dutch car drives an average of 13,000 kilometers per year. If we use 4 euro cents as the price per kilometer, that comes down to 520 euros per year for the average Dutch person. Or more than 43 euros per month in taxes. It is currently unknown how the government will keep track of how much we drive.
Is the price per kilometer higher for cars that emit a lot of CO2?
‘New in the letter that Harbers and Van Rij sent to the House of Representatives on Friday, is that the cabinet does not distinguish between clean and dirty cars. The ecological tire footprint of a car does not (yet) play a role in the tax NRC in the same article. Everyone will therefore pay exactly the same amount.
Somehow that makes sense. Inefficient cars consume more fuel and whoever fills up more fuel already pays more excise duties. The kilometers are therefore inherently more expensive – as is now the case. Incidentally, EV drivers currently do not pay road tax, so for them the use of the car will also become more expensive than it is now.
