When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

phasing out of the tax exemption
The explanatory notes say this:
-> "Ten tweede bewerkstelligt dit amendement een wijziging in de vrijstelling in de motorrijtuigenbelasting voor voertuigen ouder dan 25 jaar. Door dit amendement wordt de vrijstelling in de motorrijtuigenbelasting voor voertuigen ouder dan 25 jaar per 31 december 2011 bevroren. Dit wil zeggen dat de voertuigen die op die datum 25 jaar of ouder zijn onder de vrijstelling blijven vallen, maar dat voertuigen die op die datum jonger zijn niet meer van de vrijstelling gebruik kunnen maken."
http://ikregeer.nl/document/KST124813
In short, the amendment means that cars currently qualifying for the exemption will keep it. However, no new exemptions will be allowed (from the moment the new law takes effect). In this way, this tax facility will slowly die out, hence "uitsterfregeling".

tax exemption for vehicles which are at a certain age

Of course you could also just say "for old vehicles"
Ten aanzien van oldtimers zou ook een ‘uitsterfregeling’ kunnen worden overwogen. Alleen motorrijtuigen die bij invoering van de Wet kilometerprijs 25 jaar of ouder zijn worden vrijgesteld.
