Dutch propose air cargo tax from January 2021

（www.cargofee.com）New broadcast：

The Dutch coalition government wants to introduce a tax on passenger and cargo flights from January 01, 2021 to make aviation “greener and more sustainable”. A Bill currently under review by the House of Representatives could produce annual revenues of €200 million.

If passed into law, the tax for all-cargo aircraft from 2021 would depend on their noise levels. The noisiest planes would pay €3.85 per tonne and the quietest a rate of €1.925 per tonne. According to the proposal, the tax would be based on the overall weight of the aircraft, so cargo in the bellyhold of a passenger aircraft could also be subject to tax

The proposal includes measures to prevent a potential negative impact on Schiphol’s role as a hub and on its international network of connections. The bill is part of efforts by the Dutch government to charge consumers and businesses for environmentally polluting behaviour.
