The income tax rates should be sharply reduced in the coming years. Up to € 100,000 for the rate to 35% and above applies a new top rate of 45%.

€ 18 bln shift

According shifts the employers of this club € 18 billion from the treasury to the pockets of the citizens. De Boer sees it as a correction. Since the last tax reform in 2001, the burden of the people with “significantly more” than increased € 18 billion. Such a review need not be carried out in a year, says De Boer. “Put it down perspective and growth in a few years to go.” What the government should do less, De Boer does not fill in.

Wig

Employers chairman thinks that ‘the high taxes and high wedge’ spending inhibits. The wedge is the difference between what the employer is actually spent on an employee and what the employee earns net. The government wants with his broad tax reform also reduce the wedge because so boosting employment.

Competitive

The tax reduction is necessary, according to De Boer ‘to be somewhat in line with neighboring countries, but must also mainly Dutch stimulate economy. “The surgery is good for competitiveness, domestic spending and the growth of jobs,” said De Boer.

On his appointment In June last year, the VNO-NCW chairman threw even a ball on to review the income tax. When did the Boer only leave the top rate of 52% applied upon income from a tonne instead of above about € 55,000.
