The Car Interests Foundation has unveiled a number of new and spicy facts in Groningen this week. We spoke to Hans Horwitz and Wouter van Embden. They told us the following: “At the start of 2013, there were agreements between the old-timer alliance and the Ministry of Finance. There would also be a transitional arrangement for diesel and LPG old-timers. Those agreements were completely reversed by the Ministry. ”We also had access to new calculations from the Foundation with regard to the revenue from the MRB scheme. These figures show that the revenues are by no means related to the results that Eric Wiebes presented last spring.
In April 2015, Secretary of State Eric Wiebes announced the proceeds of the old-timer scheme. They would amount to a total of 123 million Euros. According to the Ministry, 82 million was accounted for by the changed vehicle fleet. This arose as a result of the replacement demand that would have occurred as a result of the abolished MRB exemption for the category taxed per 1 January 2014.
The Car Interests Foundation has now calculated that this series in 2014 only nine million euros yielded.
MRB income with old-timer owners continues to decline
In addition, it was calculated that the MRB income from old-timer owners in 2015 will decrease by seven million euros. The possession of cars between 0 and 25 year-by old-timer owners is included. As expected, the figures show a different picture than Wiebes predicted in April. The Autobelangen Foundation submitted a WOB request to view Wiebes' calculations. On the last possible response day, the Ministry of Finance came with an answer. That was a copy of documents that were sent to the House. Wouter van Embden's club then decided to take action itself and the results mentioned were calculated.
"Behavioral effects were suddenly included"
Subsequently, in a hearing by the Ministry of Finance on 4 September 2015, the substitution effects (revenues from so-called replacement demand) were discussed. The Ministry reported that these are difficult to determine. Therefore, they are not based on individual data, but on estimates and assumptions. “And a replacement demand of 70.000 cars has been assumed. A behavioral effect that can never add up. An effect, moreover, that has now suddenly been used to color the figures. In any case, we have shown that the revenues are a fraction ”, says Van Embden.
"Agreements were made for the transitional arrangement for diesel and LPG vintage cars"
In relation to the prelude to the current MRB regulation, Wouter van Embden revealed another spicy fact. A source directly involved indicated that there were indeed agreements with the Ministry of Finance for a transitional arrangement for old-timers on Diesel and LPG. “They were simply reversed. And suddenly the alliance got the knife on the throat. In this way, the current regulation was largely pushed through. ”In particular, the commitments and agreements that have not been honored cast a curious shadow on the realization of the current situation. If they had been complied with, expensive processes would have been superfluous. And the costs of implementing the amended rules could have been spent on completely different things.
Old-timer owner does not buy anything for haggling
The consequences of the scheme have been meticulously demonstrated by Stichting Autobelangen for at least two and a half years. In 2009, politics turned out to be receptive to it. It adjusted its young-timer policy based on the figures of the Foundation - after long negotiations - after all. The latest developments justify a repeat of a policy review in the area of MRB. Oldtimer owners who have been taxed since 1 in January 2014 are entitled to it. They do not buy anything for the consequences of haggling and lust for power, but are entitled to a fair and well-founded arrangement. The Amendment by Vliet is a wonderful example of this.
Naturally, Rutte & Co is very convenient if the people blame all the cutbacks on asylum seekers.
But the asylum seekers did not vote for Rutte and their mates, the Dutchmen did that themselves.
In countries like Syria, by the way, they swear by classic diesel Benzen.
Let us keep focus, it is about unreliable and unambiguous behavior of our government with regard to old-timers. It is already extremely difficult and difficult for our government to understand what they are causing. Let us keep it pure.
Fine; a hit. But how do you change the voting behavior of the DUTCH? The majority does not vote on the basis of a political choice, but on the basis of their principle “his” party. Thus the PvdA, VVD and CDA will continue to exist. Thus, the majority of DUTCHERS vote for their own demise. There is only one who dares to open his mouth and I vote for that: Wilders of the PVV. (at least as long as no radicals get the upper hand via the PVV ideals). RUTTE AND CO hate the elderly, the state pension gaps, and even more so with old-timer owners; they are heel-lickers of the EU. Bring in all those fortune-seekers, who get everything as a gift from RUTTE EN CO, such as free medical treatment, while we get an increase in the deductible every year. So: how do we get them voted out?
The Head Lieutenant of the Netherlands has succeeded again, RUTTE may receive € 12.000.000 through the road tax on old-timers, on the other hand he gives refugee assistance (housing, medical assistance, pocket money, food and I know a lot more) € 900.000.000.- out, own people can create, the elderly can roam in their own droppings and take a shower once every 14 day, RUTTE EN CO doesn't care at all, this rig finally shows what the Dutch think about this government that stinks of self-esteem that the turret should actually be closed due to odor nuisance.
Yes, we have another one. Everything is the fault of the asylum seekers !!! Please think before you post something.
Nothing is the fault of the asylum seekers. Everything is the fault of our governments. They spend billions all over the world. But let us create (poorer) Dutch people.
