Expected decline in Dutch new-car sales

Dutch industry organisations BOVAG and RAI Vereniging expect fewer new cars to be sold next year. They cited an expected increase in the taxable benefit rate for electric lease cars from 18% to 20% and a proposed pseudo-final levy that would make employers pay more for company cars with internal-combustion engines, including plug-in hybrids.
