Spent: 7 May 2004 08.34 last modified: 7 May
2004 15.44 of finances wants for companies strongly reduce, of 34.5
percent to 29 per cent. That says Friday in a question
conversation in the financial daily to wine calls a this ' beetje
cheap '. The State Secretary offers businesses cadeautje at the
tax which they must pay concerning their profits, but it is for the
first time that a bewindsman does something like that indicating where
he thinks of obtaining the money from. Also - Member of
Parliament Dezentjé Hamming misses ' the good use to indicate cover
'. - Member of Parliament baker says see more in lowering of the
remuneration costs. - Member of Parliament Vendrik finds that
there firstly hard European appointments must occur come concerning a
ondergrens to the tax burden for this way international race to the
lowest tariff. Wine says in the conversation which he realises '
properly ' that there still financing must be found for the lowering
and ' that still a complete klus will become '. A lowering of
the nominal tariff from the corporation tax up to 29 per cent costs to
estimate 2.7 billion euro to the Treasury. Wine wants reduce the
tax to improve the competive position of the Netherlands with respect
to other European countries. Now the Netherlands on Germany has
after the highest tariff for corporation tax. Wine announced in
February already a modernisation of the corporation tax, but then not
yet spoke concerning a lowering. Wine said in February that the
reform can cost no penny. Also now he puts that the lowering the
Treasury nothing can cost. The entrepreneurs, united in sme the
Netherlands, and the employers' organisation VNO-NCW react positively
to the tax reduction. Both organisations warn, however, that
wine does not have recover the costs of this on businesses themselves,
for example by crossing out deductions. ' then lead is for old
iron ', thus for the of VNO-NCW. Member of Parliament Crone
calls it sour that wine with its idea comes that at a moment the SPAK,
a tax discount for employers who hire people with little training are
crossed out because of the bezuinigingen. The PvdA are not
against a lowering of corporation tax, if it is indicated how which
can be paid for. Thus the largest opposition party feels,
however, for a lowering with 2 per cent, if that paid becomes from
higher tax on energiegebruik. government party d66 shares the
care of wine, which the Netherlands becomes less and less attractive
as a place of business for companies. But according to Member of
Parliament baker the largest sticking point does not sit at the tax,
but at the remuneration costs. - Fractie has in the past pleaded
for lowering of the corporation tax. Cda-Kamerlid the Nerée
think that wine the costs of lowering assess now much too high,
because at a disappointing economy less profit is made. Moreover
companies still loss compensation, as a result of which they must
provisionally less pay corporation tax, have. The surrounding
countries, the new Member States of the European Union and a country
such as Ireland lower tariffs have then our country. The Nerée
find that the Netherlands ' as soon as possible something must do '
and that ' reflected ' true this money must become from can come.
Vvd-Kamerlid Dezentjé Hamming plead for a lowering of the
corporation tax, which does not have ' cost so much such as wine
presents now '. There an especially reduced tariff must come for
research - and development costs. Vendrik (greenness-left) think
that by the accession of ten lands new to the European Union the
competition to commit lure will increase. The Netherlands the
chairmanship of the European Union must seize to make agreements
concerning the tax burden. The Dutch Treasury offers ' no space
' according to Vendrik to reduce the corporation tax. (c) DUTCH
