27 February 2018 Dutch Government releases fiscal policy agenda Following last year's Policy Paper published by the Dutch Government, outlining its envisaged policies for the next four years, the Dutch Ministry of Finance, on February 23, released its fiscal policy agenda (the Agenda). The Agenda elaborates on the various tax changes that were already announced in the Policy Paper, and the timing thereof. Two top priorities of the Agenda are to ensure that the Netherlands continues to offer a competitive tax investment climate for companies, while it also seeks to implement certain anti-tax avoidance measures in line with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and European Union (EU) recommendations, which includes the Anti-Tax Avoidance Directive (ATAD) and the EU blacklist for non-cooperative countries.
