The Court of Appeal confirmed the lower court's decision to annul the tax authority's penalty and tax assessment against the plaintiff. The plaintiff successfully argued that the 2006 Vehicle Tax Act failed to provide proportional taxation for vehicles with identical engine capacities but different fuel consumption. Consequently, the court rejected the inspector's appeal and ordered the tax authority to pay the plaintiff's legal costs.

Wet BPM 1992; Wet Algemene Bijzondere Heffingen 2006: The tax authority must ensure that the tax system provides for proportional taxation, and a system where vehicles with identical engine capacities are taxed differently based on fuel consumption without sufficient justification violates this principle.
