After the elections, it will become clear how the tax plan and cabinet will proceed

In The Hague, the upcoming votes on next year's tax plans are highly anticipated. VVD leader Brekelmans announced opposition to the government's tax proposal if a certain amendment is approved, which would increase taxes on the wealthy to benefit workers and small savers. This proposal is seen as detrimental to the business climate and contradicts the coalition agreement. Meanwhile, D66 and CDA support the amendment. The cabinet advised against it, citing issues with funding and complexity. The outcome could affect another proposal for a capital gains tax. Voting will first address all amendments, followed by the main tax plan. Delays in voting may allow for further negotiations, as trust within the coalition is currently low, with Premier Jetten acknowledging recent failures and seeking a serious restart with VVD's involvement.
