The allocation of Road tax
Philipsburg – The General Audit Chamber submitted its report entitled “Audit into the allocation of Motor vehicle tax” to Parliament today. Motor vehicle tax, or road tax, is a yearly levy paid to use motorized vehicles on public roads.
By law, the money collected from road tax is supposed to be placed in a Road Fund. However, in practice, the money flows to the government’s general coffers and is used for general government expenditures. In 2021, Government collected 10.3 million guilders in road tax. One third of this money was spent for different infrastructure elements.
The report is published in both English and Dutch and is available on the website of the General Audit Chamber (www.arsxm.org).
