Government is making SMEs pay the price for a lack of strategic vision
Government is making SMEs pay the price for a lack of strategic visionThe De Wever government is raising tax rates on profit distributions for small companies, placing an extra tax burden on SMEs. According to Frederik De Graeve, these measures aren’t a fair reform, but a quick fix for budget problems that are affecting the entire economy. The tax rate increases are being sold as a fight against abuse, but in reality they hit every small business. This policy leads to lower investment, higher prices and a general tax increase that affects entrepreneurs, employees and consumers. Frederik calls for a targeted and consistent approach to abuse, rather than general tax increases.
