Cabinet holds talks in search of majority for tax plan

Dutch finance ministers must devise a new tax plan after previous proposals failed to gain support. Adjustments to inheritance and gift taxes are being considered, but the VVD opposes this. Key discussions are ongoing among coalition leaders about future negotiations, with D66 and CDA favoring collaboration with PRO, while VVD prefers right-wing support. PRO demands tax reductions on labor and increased taxes on wealth for cooperation. Right-wing parties also have conditions, complicating majority formation. The Tweede Kamer will debate the tax plan extensively before a vote on November 12.
