D66 doubts about further discuss tax plan – Telegraaf.nl

THE HAGUE –

D66 does not yet know whether the government and other opposition parties will continue to negotiate a reform of the tax system. That turned out Wednesday at the end of the parliamentary debate on the tax plans of the Cabinet. “We will consider,” said Pechtold

.

If D66 would not want to negotiate, those talks are pointless. The party is needed to help the government to a majority in the Senate. The planned tax cuts of 5 billion euro is not in danger, because it has the support of the CDA. But can a possible further reform of the system without D66 question.

Pechtold expressed disappointment at the end of the debate, and he said he wants to discuss with his group whether it is interesting to talk about a situation where the chances of a real tax reform are lacking or are very difficult.

Three other opposition parties said in the debate that they would like to negotiate with the government and the coalition on a reform of the tax system. Christian Union leader Arie Slob was important that we can speak in that also negotiating a different interpretation of the package of tax reductions of 5 billion euros.

Kees van der Staaij (SGP) emphasized the importance that no lie vetoes. He also has no objection to confidential conversations. The parliamentary history shows that it is sometimes necessary. Jesse Klaver (GroenLinks) said he wants a say, even if there is to go in his assessment still a long way for a true system reform.

Yet prepared

Prime Minister Mark Rutte think D66 after internal consultation will still be willing to negotiate a reform of the tax system. “I think they will finally come out,” Rutte said after the debate against journalists. “D66 has always been highly motivated to think about a tax reform. Anyway, we’ll have to wait and see. “

Rutte pointed out that he had warned a public debate on the government’s plans. He had that feel uncomfortable discussing behind closed doors with the opposition. “But they really wanted to, and then you run the risk of irritation or you tear things to pieces. That just did not happen, but if D66 quits, the train does not run anymore. The opportunity to combine tax cuts with a major tax let you down and I would find that sin. “

Pechtold said after the debate that the government is not ambitious enough. The number of additional jobs would bring the tax plan he called “really upsetting”
