40 years priest

40 years priest

Last Pentecost Sunday marked the 40th anniversary of the priesthood of Monsignor de Jong, parish priest of Maastricht-East. Besides his pastoral duties, he is also auxiliary bishop of Roermond, army bishop and bishop of the prison service. I don't think I have even named all his activities with that. Former Bishop Frans Wiertz, the rector of Rolduc and some senior members of the armed forces attended the celebration. The parishioners did not walk out en masse; the church was only partially filled. In and around the pubs at the later carnival celebrations, however, it was very busy. Typical of the current times.

Business owners see labor costs rising by about 17 billion euros in 2023

Due to tight labor markets and high inflation, businesses will face sharply rising labor costs in 2023. In 2022, collective bargaining wages already rose 3.2 percent; it was the largest increase since 2008. This year, labor costs are expected to rise by as much as 6.1 percent. For the entire business sector, this will lead to an increase in labor costs of about 17 billion euros, according to calculations by ABN AMRO. Meanwhile, lower consumer purchasing power and rapidly rising interest rates are causing the economy to cool.

Own home does not go to box 3

Given the development of box 3 towards a new system of actual return, in which the way in which real estate - not being the owner-occupied home - is taxed has not yet been crystallized, it does not make policy sense to include the owner-occupied home scheme in this. So writes State Secretary of Finance Van Rij to the House of Representatives.

Climate Action Plans

Climate Action Plans

Last Wednesday, April 26, 2023, Climate and Energy Minister Rob Jetten held his first climate press conference. It is intended that a series of such press conferences will follow. In them, he will update us on the implementation of climate plans. A €35 billion climate fund has been established by this administration. Of this, €28 billion is now earmarked. It is therefore good that society is informed about the progress of the implementation of the plans. Mind you, this has nothing to do with the nitrogen crisis. It is about combating global warming, especially through CO2 emissions.

The Tax Office has announced that it is temporarily suspending the processing of final assessments for 2021 and 2022 relating to box 3 income. This specifically concerns assessments where the box 3 income consists of more than just bank deposits, such as income from shares or real estate. In addition, the processing of objections regarding box 3 income for the years 2017 through 2021 will also be suspended.
