Income tax in the Netherlands should be revised to bring it more in line with neighboring countries. For this, VNO-NCW chairman Hans de Boer argues today at a meeting of leaders from government and industry. Dijsselbloem Minister of Finance sees nothing in the plan and asks whether VNO ‘a cash machine in the attic has listed’
.
For a gross income of up to 100,000 euros should apply an income tax rate of 35 percent, above a new top rate of 45 percent. This € 18 billion could shift from the state budget into the pockets of citizens. “The surgery is good for competitiveness, domestic spending and job growth,” says De Boer.
The measure, which the current top rate of 52 percent is canceled, need according to employers foreman not one years to be implemented. “Put it down perspective and growth in a few years to go.
Jeroen Dijsselbloem Minister of Finance said in a very little reaction to the proposal of De Boer. He noted that the VNO-president goes against the spirit of the times with his plea for a lower top rate. Also in the story of De Boer totally unclear where the 18 billion is found, unless VNO a cash machine in the attic, says Dijsselbloem. The government is certainly not going to cut such an amount.
