Live | Heinen defends cabinet's box 3 plan
Minister Heinen defends the cabinet's box 3 tax plan amid criticism regarding its implementation and the so-called 'sjoemeldekking'. The plan aims to introduce a capital gains tax by 2029, with a complete tax law expected by 2030. Despite a majority in the House of Representatives, support in the Senate remains uncertain. Coalition leaders are seeking to finalize a deal this week, while opposition parties express concerns about the rushed process and potential gaps in the budget. The coalition has agreed to allow differing votes on the tax plan, adding to the political tension in The Hague.
