Outgoing Economy Minister Adriaansens finds it worrying that the House of Representatives wants to simplify the tax regime for foreigners. Last night the House of Representatives voted in favor of a proposal to reduce interest rates on student loans under the student loan system. This will be financed by reducing the tax advantage for highly skilled foreign workers.
Adriaansens emphasized that one of the main reasons why companies leave the Netherlands is personnel shortage, and that companies working with “knowledge” especially need this group. These are often digital or tech-savvy people, he added.
According to Adriaansens, the reduction in immigration regulation affects not only large companies but also start-ups, for example. “Ultimately, this doesn’t even help students who want to work in a company,” Adriaansens said.
“Good talks” are expected in the Senate
The House of Representatives accepted the relevant amendment. Adriaansens is now pinning his hopes on the Senate. “I hope there will be a good meeting there too.” The Minister finds it “dramatic” that more proposals affecting companies have been adopted: “Important decisions were taken in the House of Representatives in a very short period of time. has an impact on the economy. “This will affect them and ultimately us as Dutch people.”
Asked whether the House of Representatives was now saving the “unfortunate generation”, Adriaansens colleague Dijkgraaf van Onderwijs said that various amendments and motions had been adopted and the cabinet would examine them carefully. “Some are easier to implement than others. There are many technical and legal aspects of the job. “I understand the feelings of this generation of students very well.”
