Cabinet to discuss route for tax plan and box 3 on day full of consultations

Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten and finance ministers are struggling to secure parliamentary support for the government's financial plans, particularly the tax plan. The coalition is divided, with VVD favoring right-wing alliances and D66 leaning left. An adjusted tax proposal will be sent to parliament, incorporating opposition suggestions to gain support. While a majority in the House of Representatives seems possible with some parties, the Senate remains uncertain. Additionally, the government faces challenges regarding the introduction of a capital gains tax, with calls for a two-year delay from the Council of State and the Tax Authority. A letter regarding this issue will be sent to parliament soon.
