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.

It is about combating global warming, especially through CO2 emissions.

In addition, the processing of objections regarding box 3 income for the years 2017 through 2021 will also be suspended.
