Jurgen Vluijmans wrote that his first opinion piece in De Morgen was about companies, and more specifically about management companies, which he believes do not exist as often thought. He mentioned that he explained with four arguments why, according to him, VDB and Vooruit were wrong. The piece was readable without a paywall; Vluijmans thanked Bart Eeckhout for that. https://t.co/kHOul97dJD #opinie #vennootschappen #journalistiek (translated)
Geert Noels wrote that the memo from Vooruit about management companies contained grotesque methodological and accounting errors according to him. He stated that newspapers and parties could easily expose this and said that entrepreneurs in the country were fair game. https://t.co/ErLtEX2K0E #managementvennootschappen #ondernemen #journalistiek (translated)
Geert Noels regretted that De Tijd had again reported unilaterally on management companies during a crucial moment in the budget discussions. According to him, a management company was not a legal form, the number of them was unclear, and estimates were often exaggerated. He also wrote that people working through a company had less protection and accrued rights, such as no unemployment benefits or dismissal protection and a lower pension. Noels asserted that measures had already been taken to make this working method less attractive, including a higher minimum wage and an increase to 18% for VVPRbis and the liquidation reserve. According to him, some professions and responsibilities often made a company necessary. He further wrote that the tax burden was among the three highest in the EU, as were government expenditures, which he claimed amounted to 54% of GDP. The mentioned rate of 35% for management companies, according to Noels, applied as a marginal burden on profits above the minimum wage; with that wage included, the average burden according to him was rather around 37–39%. For employees, he stated that a tax burden of more than 50% applied for most only as a marginal rate. https://t.co/zDUhGzIC0w #BegripBegroting #Managementvennootschappen #Belastingen (translated)
Nee, de inactieven en karottentrekkers ondermijnen de welvaartsstaat. Flexijobs en managementvennootschappen (die niet bestaan) zijn WERKENDEN. #arbeid #welvaartsstaat #werkgelegenheid
Een steeds verder uitdeinend moddervet overheidsapparaat ondermijnt de welvaartsstaat. Van Peteghem: ‘Flexi-jobs en managementvennootschappen ondermijnen welvaartsstaat’ https://t.co/aeo3T5XxK9 #welvaartsstaat #overheid #sociaalbeleid
Onze welvaartsstaat wordt niet ondermijnd door flexi-jobs en "managementvennootschappen", maar door te weinig actieven en teveel mensen die afhangen van de overheid. Flexi-jobs en vennootschappen zijn vluchtroutes van mensen die hard werken, en er iets aan willen overhouden. https://t.co/0lOnqYtsBL #Welvaartsstaat #FlexiJobs #Overheid
