Dutch government ends staff discount scheme, unions angered

Original: personeelskorting

The Dutch cabinet has decided to abolish the personeelskorting, a tax scheme allowing employers to give staff tax-free discounts on company products. The change has angered 25 industry branches, which say it removes a valued and cost-effective employee benefit. Employers and sector organisations are pushing back against the measure, arguing it hurts workers' purchasing power. The decision is part of the government's broader tax plan and is expected to take effect in the coming years.

Why now: The government's decision to scrap the scheme directly affects employers and employees across 25 sectors, prompting immediate criticism.
