This is indeed very attractive, because cars older than 25 years are tax-free in NL. This is a reason, why you can see many more bigger older cars, Mercedes and so with Dutch plates (with combinations for later imported cars) than in the past. I remember, when I was small, the average car in Holland was smaller an in a more simple edition than in Germany. So real standard versions of Opel Kadett for example you could see there quite often.


Unfortunately the other life is very expensive in Holland, compared to Germany -especially houses (which are usually not as good as German houses, too)- so it makes no sense for me to "emigrate" 40 kilometers more West. The tax-free registration for my K 70 wouldn't help that much.
There is a guy in our K 70-Club, he acts in this way. He lives on the Dutch side of a small village. There his K 70 is registrated, too. His girl-friend lives on the German side, 200 meters more East - there their all-day-Golf is registrated. All other things were decided "call-by-call", where it's better to be, in the Netherlands or in Germany.
