The PwC CEO Survey shows that Dutch CEOs are concerned about the variability of tax regulations which have a significant impact on companies’ future developments. Edwin Visser, head of tax policy at PwC, recognises that picture. “Although the Dutch tax system is fundamentally solid, we also see too much complexity in certain rules. In addition, in our opinion, the tax system contains too many random and isolated legislative initiatives, which sometimes violates the coherence within the system. To ensure that the tax environment stimulates investment and economic growth, it is important that politicians make informed choices and ensure consistent policies.”
This calls for an open and constructive dialogue between policymakers, the business community and tax advisors, with the aim of creating a fiscal climate that stimulates innovation and makes the Netherlands attractive to businesses.
