Vrijstellingoldtimer.nl requests Senate to suspend the old-timer scheme

On December 16, the Senate will shed its light on the 40 year compromise. Although the House of Representatives on 19 last November approved by majority the amended exemption rules for old-timers, that arrangement is still not official. The Senate - which among other things tests laws and plans with regard to quality - still has to approve this. Team Vrijstellingoldtimer.nl tries to prevent this - on behalf of many old-timer enthusiasts and owners. People still make an excessive effort - they again visited the Senate and in the meantime called on the supporters to keep their peace.

KNAC petition for MRB exemption a great success

The petition that the KNAC put online (www.knac.nl/petitie), created less than a day after the offending rule in the coalition agreement was announced, is a gigantic success.

The petition was signed more than 55.000 times, partly thanks to the enormous lobby of enthusiasts who shared the link to their heart's content on their web pages, Facebook accounts and Twitter accounts, but also reported it to members in their newsletters.

The new plans of the Rutte Samson formation keep the minds busy. Heated reactions from enthusiasts who feel caught by the heavy burdens that await them when the MRB exemption expires. Different times also dawn for us classic and old-timer enthusiasts. But are these necessarily worse? Now it seems that way, but the big lobbying is starting. Various organizations that support the preservation of our driving heritage have already taken action. Including of course the KNAC who has placed a petition on her site, the FEHAC who is already in pressure at board level with the KNAC and your own Auto Motor Klassiek. What can we do to represent the classic and old-timer world as a front in The Hague? There must be an alternative.

The FEHAC has also - logically - spoken out against the abolition of the Motor Vehicle Tax exemption and relies on the results of the independent research that they had carried out by TNO on the environmental impact of vintage cars.

Changes in the Motor Vehicle Tax

Although it does not actually come as a complete surprise, as of today the decision seems definitive: the exemption from Motor Vehicle Tax, or MRB, for cars aged thirty years and older is - again - at risk. Changes are coming, according to the first reports from the fresh coalition agreement between the VVD and PvdA
