Solar Magazine – National VVD Party raises objections to the value of WOZ solar panels

Beginning of September, court judgment. Arnhem-Leeuwarden announced that municipalities could include solar panels in determining the value of a house in the WOZ. The value WOZ of a house is based on the value of the free sales of the house or on the amount that the house will deliver during the sale. The value depends, among other things, on the size and location of the house, the type of house and, recently, the presence of solar panels. According to the court, solar panels add value to a home. This decision directly led MPs VVD Lodders and Yesilgöz-Zegerius to the Secretary of State for Finance, Menno Snel, to ask parliamentary questions. In addition, in early October, the lower house rejected a proposal by Alexander Kops (PVV) and Sandra Beckerman (SP) not to include solar panels in the value of the value of housing value (WOZ) .

VVD. This makes the future position of the VVD remarkable. According to RTL News, VVD MP Helma Lodders formally proposes to the House of Representatives not to include solar panels in determining the value of the WOZ of a house when processing the tax plan (published on November 12 ) in the House of Representatives. Group D66 would support the wish of the VVD. RTL Nieuws speaks of a possible majority in the House of Representatives

On November 5, the Standing Committee on Finance held consultations with the Secretary of State. Lodders, member of the chamber, said during this consultation: "If you buy solar panels to reduce your energy bill, it is unfortunate to have to pay more taxes. Then you will be punished for good behavior. The VVD does not want that. You must reward good behavior – or rather: good initiatives -. That's why I would like to ask that solar panels be considered mobile. Then they do not count in the value of your house, the so-called WOZ value, which is used to levy different taxes and levies. "
