Industry Spokesperson Klaus Edelsbrunner: “Counterproductive from a technical point of view”
Vienna (OTS) – Klaus Edelsbrunner, Chairman of the Federal Committee for Vehicle Trade of the Austrian Chamber of Commerce (WKÖ), criticizes the planned increase in the standard excise tax (NoVA) as “counterproductive from a technical point of view in several respects”: “The The increase in prices affects both employers and employees, who need the car for work, as well as travelers and families. ”In addition, the expansion of the NoVA to small trucks such as vans or flatbed trucks particularly affects EPCs and SMEs.
In addition to an additional financial burden, the planned NoVA increase for July 1, 2021 will also mean that older cars will continue to be driven rather than replaced by newer vehicles with more environmentally friendly technologies. “As a result, significant CO2 savings potential remains untapped,” concluded motor vehicle sales representative Edelsbrunner.
