With the Budget Memorandum and Budget for next year , a Tax Plan is also drawn up , as a serial of fiscal standard or bills to make the plans possible . For Dutch horticulture , there are three : subjecting horticulture to a CO2 levy , phase out the reduced charge per unit on gas ( boiler gas ) , and phase out the possible action of using gas at all to generate electricity with a combined rut and power installation . The plan , which do not lie in , were announced on Budget Day .
CO2 taxThe Environmental Taxes Act will have a young component from January 1 , 2025 . There will be a CO2 levy en masse on horticulture , i.e. , a tax on carbon dioxide emissions . It will be € 1.35 per t of atomic number 6 dioxide . ( In perspective : 1 cubic meter of gas pedal accounts for about 1.8 kilos of CO2 ; a company using 100,000 cubic meters on an annual basis emits 180,000 kilos of CO2 , or 180 t , or € 243 ) .
Boiler gasTariffs on gas utilisation are also going up . modest consumers ( between 0 and 170,000 cubic meters annualized ) currently pay up 7.9 cents revenue enhancement on the utilisation of 1 cubic meter . Next year , that will be 9.4 , 18 in 2025 , 26.7 in 2026 , and so on , until finally , in 2030 , the pace are aligned with those of the steady user , namely 62.8 cents .
The large drug user ( 170,000 - 1 million cubic meters ) go from 3.6 cents now to 8.4 next year to 15.9 in 2025 to 19.4 in 2026 etc . See chart below .

Limiting electrical energy generation freedom - the lower the efficiency , the more taxThe most abstract of the three is limiting the input exemption . This is contrive to avoid double taxation because return electrical energy benefit the public control grid . Since this is only partly the showcase - some of the electrical energy is used itself , some of the input is convert into heat , and that too is for own economic consumption - it is proposed ' to also task ( gas input for ) high temperature and electrical energy for own use with energy tax from January 1 , 2025 . '
What that looks like can be read in the beak in motion . " Currently , natural gas used in electrical energy genesis plant is amply exempt if an electrical efficiency of at least 30 % is accomplish . The electric efficiency of most flora is well above 30 % . For representative , the electrical efficiency of modern major power plants is about 55 % , and CHP plants in gardening are about 43 % . Only installment set up at industrial company sometimes realise an efficiency below 30 % and therefore do not claim the input immunity . "
" The authorities propose to drop the 30 % efficiency requirement and instead excuse 0.18957 Nm3 of natural gas per kWh of electricity generated . This measure maintains the input exemption for electrical energy generation but henceforth taxes natural gas for heat generation . In practice , the measuring stick amounts to relieve the entire natural gas input for installations achieving an electrical efficiency of 60 % or higher . Operators with installations achieving an electric efficiency below 60 % will now pay energy tax on part of the natural gas remark . The low-spirited the electrical efficiency of a plant , the greater the rude gas share on which energy tax must be paid . "

Feasible?Are the architectural plan feasible , or , in civil retainer ' terminus , is it in the ' doability ' of enterpriser to meet all these increases ? The interrogation is enquire rhetorically and therefore answered : " None of the step in this bill make dandy demands on the doability of those involved . Thus , the doability of the measurement is not a concern . In plus , the measure only pretend companies , making doability in general less of a concern . "
Noted . Several clip here , people refer to areportby BlueTerra and Trinomics , which calculates the issue of phase out vigour tax exemptions . However , this makes no statements on feasibleness .
" Prinsjesdag budget undermines livelihood security horticulture"Adri Bom - Lemstra , president of Glastuinbouw Nederland , clearly hasa different opinion . " These measures put an end to small , medium - sized , and encompassing family farms . For one-half of the Dutch growers , it will become unprofitable to still grow tomato , pepper , cucumbers , strawberries , and other soft yield or flowers and plants . Where energy cost turn out two to sometimes five times , these price can be passed on to consumer to a limited extent . Abolition of the horticultural tariff and curtailment of the CHP input signal immunity , therefore , particularly inhibits clime frontrunners in growing healthy and green intersection on Dutch soil . Healthier food and a greener environment will thus become even more unaffordable for citizen , and growers will end up in the red ink . "
