Implementation and impact of increasing insurance premium tax

The Court of Audit published an audit report on the implementation and impact of increasing insurance premium tax on 3 September 2014. The report is one in a series entitled Zicht op bezuinigingen (Insight into Spending Cuts). It has been sent to the House of Representatives and published on www.rekenkamer.nl. A background document with underlying information has also been posted on the website.
The report explains how the step-by step increase in the tax rate on insurance premiums has affected the State’s revenue, how much extra an average family has since paid in insurance premiums and tax and the social impact of this government measure.
