Car buyers are perplexed about the future of taxes – Aftenposten

These charges are one of the major battles between the Government and the støttepartiene the Left and Progress in the coming months. Which avgiftsregime motorists get next year, and not least, how this will be in the years to come, is completely in the blue.

” We don’t know what will happen with taxes on gasoline and diesel engines ahead. It causes motorists a lot of uncertainty, which, in itself, affect the prices of second-hand cars, ” says økonomiprofessor Stein Ivar Steinsham at the Norwegian School of economics (NHH).

He has worked a lot with the climate and the economy, and among other things, been writing about how expensive it can be to expose climate change measures.

a Pensioner Sunderland Ingebrigtsen is one of them that would known more about the car taxes had to come.

I follow a bit and see how the Government and støttepartiene fighting with diesel and bensinavgifter. When it comes to information about what might happen in the longer term, there is little that is communicated, ” says Ingebrigtsen, we meet with the car dealer Jæger Automobile in Bergen.

– Confusing

Steinshamn at NHH seems there is little accordance between the modest premiums in the Government’s proposal for a gas – and dieselavgifter next year and the ambitious klimamålsetningene the same government sat by Parisavtalen.

– It seem confusing to car buyers, think of the professor.



Calculations from the Climate and miljødepartementet estimates that we up to 2030 will only cut 2.1 per cent of the national greenhouse gas emissions. The goal is to cut 40 percent of emissions in the next 13 years.

Terje Breivik in the Government’s støtteparti the Left is not impressed.

such A avgiftsopplegg is confusing. On the one hand, the prices the up fossil fuels, on the other rewards they the same cars through targeted avgiftslettelser, ” he says.

Only new nullutslippsbiler

to clarify which taxes motorists can expect in the years ahead, the Socialist Left party (SV) asked the Government to put forth a plan for what specific instruments you will use to reach The goal that new cars sold in 2025 will be nullutslippsbiler.

When the DN in June of this year wrote that a parliamentary majority was considering to ban sales of new petrol and diesel cars by 2025, rejected Right that there was talk of prohibition. And since there has been confusion about whether there here was to talk a lot, and possibly how binding it is.

On the festtalenivå is all the parties agreed that all new vehicles sold after 2025 will be emissions-free. But when it comes to the specific instruments, are we not close to reaching this goal, says Breivik, who sits in Parliament finanskomité for the Left.

Ask for a plan

the party Leader Audun Lysbakken of SV believe it is realistic to reach this goal and ask only about the specific instruments to reach it.

such A plan would be good both for the environment and motorists, ” says Lysbakken.

He believes the Government so far has given motorists the wrong signals to support a fossil technology as soon as the are out of date.

Lysbakken will that the Parliament should make a long-term plan both for fuel and car taxes had a forward, but also for støtteordningene to nullutslippsbilene.

the Benefits for nullutslippsbiler must also be predictable. It means that the Parliament must estimate how long the main arrangements of these vehicles should last.

He emphasises that the beneficial støtteordningene can’t be perpetual.

– But we need to be there until the new technology has won.

Want opptrappingsplan

Chief executive Lars-Henrik Paarup Michelsen in Norwegian Klimastiftelse says that a careful avgiftsøkning next year can be good climate policy of the Parliament at the same time undertakes to raise taxes further in the next few years through a trappetrinnsmodell.

– Then the people will also be given room for change, ” says Michelsen, who is keen to have a wide majority for such a plan in the Parliament.

– And to secure popular legitimacy, one can see for themselves that these increased charges will be refunded to the taxpayers.

He agrees with those who think the signals today are sent to the car buyers say the least, is unclear.

It comes to the future, the taxes on gasoline and diesel engines, but just as much støtteordningene to nullutslippsbilene. Many car buyers today feel that the electric vehicle benefits are constantly on the game and renewed with only short intervals of time. Thus concludes many that it is only a matter of time before they disappear, ” says Michelsen.

But is it not just a matter of time, then?

Roads and public transport should be funded, so they can not subsidised in perpetuity. But it is important to say something about the advantages and tidsperspektivene for these. The benefits need not be as they are today. But there will always be a significant difference between the nullutslippsbilene and fossilbilene. And this must be communicated through concrete plans, ” says Michelsen.

– If only one should think about their own wallet, what advice would you give them to buy a car now?

I think many will struggle to sell their petrol and diesel cars of five years. About ten years, technology advances have made nullutslippsbilene so much better that gasoline and dieselbilene is outdone. Electric power is also so cheap in Norway that anyone who is thinking of operating, and can expect, will choose ev above fossilbil.

– But just technology developments will also lead to many of today’s electric cars quickly become outdated with too little range. It does not give significant price drops for these?

– Yes, it is a teknologirisiko with electric cars. It is similar to that with PC’s. They are instantly out of date. But here, there is also a lot of the time that may seem in the opposite direction. For the first many will only be able to replace the battery. And secondly, will the old batteries could be used for other things, like to save solstrøm.

Michelsen believe that a lot fewer of us will be keen to own their own car in ten years.

Many will probably then buy the access to the car, ” he says.

A hybrid here and there

a Pensioner Sunderland Ingebrigtsen has not only been concerned with money and ear when he has bought a car.

I totally agree that we must do what we can for the climate. Therefore, I have purchased the hybrid car both here and in Spain, where I have a house. The interesting thing is that in Spain we do not hear talk about electric vehicles or what fuel to run. Where it goes in the diesel. When we know how many more they are than we are here in Norway, you can get in doubt about how much it amounts to, what we strive here at home, ” said Ingebrigtsen.
