In recent days, the impression has been created that ahead with the capital gains tax would want to get the pension saving of millions of Belgians.
On Sunday, CD&V chairman Sammy Mahdi at VTM claimed that would manage that ahead, but in the HLN podcast ‘the report of the Wetstraat’ and in De Standaard Rousseau denies that.
“The Coalition Agreement states that we ask a contribution to the added value of all financial assets. For pension savings, you pay 8 percent tax on the saved jar on the age of sixty. The capital gains are all that you still save in the five years after that. That amount is not taxed today. According to the letter of the coalition agreement you can request a contribution for that added value if you have to pay more than 10,000, al. Getting.
Rousseau blames Mahdi and MR chairman Georges-Louis Bouchez, who spoke about the issue on Tuesday, to frighten people unnecessarily.
