Live | Debate on tax plan | Majority in the House of Representatives in sight, not in the Senate

The Dutch government is debating its tax plan, which has seen adjustments to appease opposition parties. A majority in the House of Representatives appears likely, but the Senate remains a challenge. Key changes include the removal of a proposed tax increase on wages and the retention of deductions for high healthcare costs. The government has engaged with parties like ChristenUnie and 50PLUS to address concerns for vulnerable groups. Despite internal disagreements among coalition partners, the revised plan aims to balance interests across the political spectrum.
