Cabinet Willing to Scrap Social Security Cuts
The Dutch cabinet has agreed to cancel all announced cuts to social security, including those affecting unemployment (WW) and disability (WIA) benefits, following discussions with PRO leader Jesse Klaver. This move contrasts with previous proposals that only removed AOW and maximum daily wage cuts. While shifting left on social security, the cabinet plans to address the box 3 tax issue by implementing full capital gains tax by 2028, a step aimed at securing support from right-leaning parties like JA21 and SGP for the upcoming budget. The funding source for these changes remains unspecified.
