Dive into the latest news from the Dutch parliament where fuel taxes will rise slightly starting January 1, 2025. Originally planned for a driver tax break extension, the funds are now redirected to prevent cuts to public transport, boosting services especially in rural areas.
Key details:
Gasoline tax up 5.5 cents per liter
Diesel up 3.6 cents per liter
LPG up 1.3 cents per liter
MP Pieter Grinwis from ChristenUnie emphasizes that while prices rise, avoiding public transport losses is crucial, as many areas rely on single bus lines. This also helps limit fare increases for commuters.
Additionally, parliament approved a motion to tax private jets starting 2030, with surcharges up to €2,100 for small planes and €420 for European flights, aiming to generate €58 million annually to discourage excessive flying.
This policy shift comes after soaring fuel prices post-Ukraine invasion, balancing environmental goals with public needs. Stay informed on how this affects drivers and travelers in the Netherlands.
