The prime minister, the deputy prime ministers and the Finance minister and state secretary want to meet on Saturday to set a route to a majority for their tax plan. The plan has a gap of €500 million that must be solved.

The coalition parties must first agree among themselves on the content and on how to work with the opposition. Work on a "total deal" (totaaldeal) is planned after that.
