Sander van Dam wrote that the context, according to him, did not change the unfairness of the situation. He stated that young people were expected to live with their parents until the age of 35 and therefore could not start a family, while a newcomer, whom he claimed had never contributed, was prioritized for housing. https://t.co/1WU65pUWRp #wooncrisis #jeugd #ongelijkheid (translated)
Sander Sassen stated that entrepreneurs with debts to their own BV had not secretly funneled the borrowed money away, but had built it up from liquid assets that, according to him, had already been taxed. He wrote that for such loans, the same market-conform rules applied as for regular lenders and that they did not constitute free money, as repayment was mandatory. According to Sassen, the BV and the managing director-major shareholder had already paid taxes, and above the existing threshold of five hundred thousand, direct taxation in box 2 applied. Therefore, he believed that the loans did not provide an unfair advantage for entrepreneurs compared to those without their own business. Sassen warned that a reduction of the threshold to one hundred thousand retroactively would affect entrepreneurs who had already sold assets, sometimes their homes, to pay off debts after reductions in 2023 and 2024. According to him, they were often tied to long-term plans and could not repay more quickly. He stated that bankruptcies and job losses could be the consequence of this. Sassen also referred to the Dutch Association of Tax Advisors (NOB), which, according to him, anticipated a massacre among entrepreneurs who had reached their repayment threshold after the reductions in 2023 and 2024. He said that the proposal undermined existing agreements and urged politics not to further disadvantage entrepreneurs. #ondernemen #belasting #financiering (translated)

Dr. Jan van de Beek wrote that migration made lower-income people poorer, among other things because they competed with others for social rental housing. According to him, the non-academically educated population had little say, and their needs were only politically met when they aligned with the wishes of academics. He argued that this was increasingly going wrong. #migratie #socialewoningen #ongelijkheid (translated)
