The Dutch government loses approximately 1 billion euros annually in fuel excise and VAT revenue as motorists increasingly refuel across borders. According to industry organizations VNO-NCW Brabant Zeeland and NOVE, this tax leakage represents a significant fiscal challenge for the national treasury as cheaper fuel prices in neighboring countries drive cross-border purchasing behavior.
