Tom from the Netherlands lost the reduced road tax rate for his 1986 Volkswagen LT-31 converted into a camper because the Dutch tax authority (Belastingdienst) delayed sending invoices. Due to a new system implementation at the end of 2025, about 400 vehicle owners did not receive timely notifications to pay a quarter of the standard rate (around €120 per year). Tom received neither a letter nor a reminder call, while his friends were called. As a result, the tax authority charged him the full rate, and he now faces higher bills, including a recent €331 assessment. Tom filed an objection in February 2026, but the tax authority missed its response deadline (by May 26), citing workload. The authority refuses to reinstate the reduced rate, stating that the obligation to pay lies with the owner even if the invoice is not received.
