Rant:
Perché ogni volta che provo a fare qualcosa di buono, ho voglia di essere punito?
Lavorare di più per guadagnare di più -> più tasse.
Acquistare EV (anche economico) per salvare l’ambiente -> più tasse.
Prenditi un po ‘di tempo libero per concentrarti sul mio benessere -> "Torna a lavorare ora!"
Invece di incoraggiare la forza lavoro ad essere più produttiva e apportare più valore, mi sento come se l’attuale governo sta cercando di fare tutto il contrario solo per risparmiare qualche soldo. È solo una questione di tempo per vedere altre notizie sul taglio del budget e poi la frana continua a continuare a fare la collina.

Unfortunately higher EV taxes are somewhat inevitable if you consider how much tax revenue gasoline and diesel cars provide. But yes it is annoying indeed.
It is just an ineffective governance of the country. It didn’t start yesterday, but many, many years ago.
I guess we know who won’t be re-elected (hopefully)
The funny thing of course is that the higher taxes do not generate any more revenue. We are way past the point on the Laffer curve where higher taxes start to yield overall negative gain.
That is also completely evident from the fact that Finland is the heaviest taxed country in the developed world and also the worst economy in the developed world. But what do we do to cure that? Tax more.
And btw, the EV tax is made even more ridiculous when it comes under disguise of “pollution tax”. Man, I pay tax on my electricity which is 100% wind generated, I pay tax on moving said electricity to my plug, and now I need to pay, what 450€? a year, for the emissions the said wind electricity generates. God damn, call it a fucking “road usage tax” or whatever but don’t, please, call it emissions tax.
I do not even want to go to the fairness of such when I personally pay ridiculous amounts of taxes; over 25,000 income, 1500 for my house because the government thinks that my small forest plot is actually something different, and now I need to pay emissions tax on wind electricity that I have paid VAT and energy tax on.
And now they wonder why I don’t eat in restaurants or use other services to grow the economy.
