Hi,
In researching the possible purchase of a vehicle and the associated costs, I realized that road tax in the Netherlands is quiet hefty. I am trying to put a decent budget together, but am struggling to find a decent on-line calculator that will give the indicative tax to be paid.
For instance, I found this one car.thetax.nl but found that the value for a similar vehicle on Bynco is vastly different.
A case in point:
An Opel Mokka (on Bynco) with CO2 emmissions of 162g/km, 1,4l engine and weighing 1300kg will attract road tax at between Euro 159 and 179 (according to Bynco), while the calculator referred to above states between Euro 222 and 250 (depending on which province). I understand the figure to be a quartlerly figure for both, but it is quite a discrepancy.
Can anyone comment on the accuracy from their own experience and or point me to a more accurate calculator?
Also, can you please tell me how this tax is collected?
