Cabinet agrees on route for tax plan and box 3, extra council of ministers this morning

Dutch cabinet members, including Premier Rob Jetten, are struggling to secure parliamentary support for their financial plans, particularly the tax proposal. The coalition is divided, with VVD favoring right-wing alliances and D66 leaning left. An adjusted tax plan will be presented to the parliament, incorporating some opposition requests. However, the cabinet faces challenges in both the Tweede and Eerste Kamer, with potential consequences for governance if the tax plan fails. Additionally, the decision on box 3 taxation has been postponed until at least 2029, following criticism from the Raad van State regarding the urgency of the proposed changes.
