state Secretary Wiebes puts the Tax office into receivership. He comes up with the measures after he was last week under fire was, because of the runaway retirement scheme with the Tax administration.

So had a lot more people signed up for the retirement scheme than had previously been thought. This had the budget of 70 million euro to be stretched. At the beginning of this month approved Wiebes already that mistakes were made and there has not been properly communicated.

Wiebes want to gain more control over the revenue authorities and changes to the governance model. The Tax authorities will no longer be a board of directors, but falls through a director-general directly under the ministry of Finance.

He out in his letter to the Chamber considerable criticism of the management of the tax authorities. He finds that the service acts independently and refers to the culture to keep things to themselves to keep “persistent”.

in Addition, he finds that decision-making within the top of the service is poorly documented and therefore not traceable. “There is too much reliance on informal contacts in a small circle.”
