Michel Maus stated that the road vignette was indeed a new tax, despite the message that, according to him, was on a N-VA debate note and which Minister Annick De Ridder had repeated. He wrote that the combination of the vignette and the reformed traffic tax would increase car taxation for many Flemish people. According to Maus, electric vehicles before 2026, for which no traffic tax is currently paid, would receive an additional charge with the road vignette. He also pointed out that the reformed traffic tax would take the weight of vehicles into account. Electric cars weigh on average 300 to 500 kilograms more than their fossil counterparts, meaning that the higher tax would not only affect Bentley and Cadillac drivers, as De Ridder had claimed according to Maus. Maus wrote that generating more revenue from car taxation was a political choice and called for that choice to be recognized. He argued that it was not credible to continue insisting that the measure had no tax consequences for the Flemish. In conclusion, he used a coarse insult to emphasize that people were not stupid even in the parking lot. https://t.co/J7ihP4SZj4 #Wegenvignet #Belastingen #Autofiscaliteit (translated)
