Belastingstelsel vergroot economische ongelijkheid tussen huishoudens

Back to overview

The Dutch tax system may inadvertently increase economic inequality between households, according to the CPB. This occurs because different types of income and assets are taxed unequally, while some taxpayers can defer payments indefinitely and various tax provisions lack efficiency. Reforming the tax system could help limit further inequality growth while reducing economic distortions.
