Home of Representatives: do not instantly enhance site visitors taxes considerably

In response to SP MP Michiel van Nispen, the federal government makes use of fines as a income mannequin, and may promote highway security. “That income mannequin is clearly seen within the reminders and assortment prices you obtain if the effective will not be paid on time.

One and a half instances as excessive

That is how it’s. For a site visitors effective, the recipient has eight weeks to pay it. If the recipient doesn’t pay the effective on time, the Central Judicial Assortment Company (CJIB) will ship a reminder. That is one and a half instances the unique quantity. So comes a effective of fifty to 75 euros.

With the second reminder, that is even 3 times the unique quantity: a effective of fifty will then develop into 150 euros.

“Individuals can get into severe monetary hassle due to these practices. We should not need that,” stated MP Van Nispen.

84 p.c of people that obtain a effective pay on time. However 16 p.c usually are not, in accordance with figures from the CJIB. The SP has made a proposal for this final group. And that proposal is prone to get a parliamentary majority.

“We wish two issues. First, we would like in the event you do not pay the primary time, you get a free cost reminder. We expect that is very cheap. In order that reminder does not price some huge cash instantly.”

Much less assortment prices

The second advice: “If cost will not be made and assortment prices proceed to rise, enhance the effective to an affordable quantity. For instance, 15 p.c of the principal quantity.”

At the least GroenLinks-PvdA, NSC and DENK help the proposal. Van Nispen even believes {that a} parliamentary majority will probably be achieved: “Let’s be clear: fines must be paid, however we needn’t make some huge cash for individuals who forgot or cannot pay the effective​​​​ for a time.”
