CD&V chairman Sammy Mahdi reproaches also to stop pension savings and group insurance policies under the capital gains tax. « If you say no back gates, then you also have to say what you mean. »
« If I hear ahead: we are not allowed to allow any exception, then this will be a tax in the middle class, » says CD&V chairman Sammy Mahdi at VTM about the capital gains tax. He remains behind the idea that the strongest shoulders have to contribute more, but that does not mean that the capital gains tax must be comprehensive.
He points out that there are proposals to also have things like pension savings and group insurance policies paying capital gains. « That would mean that a good citizen who saves his entire life to have a decent pension will soon be able to pay up to 7,000 euros to father. »

Within CD&V you can hear that the socialists with these kinds of proposals end up in the working groups among the experts of the cabinets. « If you can say that indoor rooms, then you also have to dare to say that to the outside world, » is the party’s reasoning. « But we don’t think you will find many partners within the government or in public opinion. We are not going to accept it anyway that you have to pay 10 percent capital gains tax. »
Operating costs
With Vooruit they say that they want to make pension savings more interesting by restricting the operating costs that the banks charge on tires. An procedure that can raise up to 20,000 euros, according to their calculations. « The figures show that clear capital gains on shares, without back gates, especially the 1 percent richest. The more back gates, the more they are spared. It would be good if everyone took that correct information into account. »
That is a piece of classical socialism, say the Christian Democrats. « A vest pocket-pocket operation, where you will find the good saver to be able to feed your own gratis politics. They do not answer the question if they will do it, but talk about a different measure. »
Prime Minister Bart De Wever (N-VA) gives himself and his government another month to knock off the capital gains. The texts of Minister of Finance Jan Jambon (N-VA) currently explicitly state that you will not have to pay any capital gains tax on pension savings or group insurance policies.
