For

Christine Teunissen of the Party for the Animals, explaining her party's vote just before the roll call: "In this tax plan millionaires will pay more. It is not perfect, it is a start." People who fly private jets pay more and train travellers pay less, she said, because the announced 5% rise in train fares is off the table.

PRO leader Jesse Klaver said in the debate: "We are happy with the introduction of a millionaires' tax. We are happy that in total 1 billion euros is raised from wealth and that we are giving that money to working people." He added: "The only way to move this country forward is to be willing to make compromises and to listen to each other."

Henri Bontenbal of the CDA told the chamber his party had agreed with PRO and Volt on a heavily amended version of their proposal, one that shifts tax from labour to wealth "without this hitting family businesses". "Cooperation and compromise must prove stronger than being right yourself," he said.

ChristenUnie

“Today the Tweede Kamer approved the Tax Plan, with good results for the ChristenUnie in it. In recent months we thought along constructively on the Tax Plan, because it was clear to us that the original plan took too little account of ordinary incomes, families and the chronically ill. Thanks to our efforts there is now a fairer Tax Plan, adopted by a majority in the Tweede Kamer. ✓ More attention for the chronically ill and people with a disability. ✓ Lower taxes for the lowest incomes. ✓ No further widening of the tax gap between single-earner and two-earner households. That is what we stand for. Because people with an ordinary income, families and everyone who meets with adversity deserve politicians who fight for them. #opstaanvoorhetgoede”

Against

VVD parliamentary leader Ruben Brekelmans warned in the debate against the box 3 rate in the amendment. "A rate of 38.5% would be the highest in the whole eurozone," he said, citing experts including those at the Ministry of Finance, and above 38% "a great many people will move their money abroad", money he said entrepreneurs in the Netherlands badly need.

“PVV motion of no confidence rejected. Will the VVD pull the plug on the cabinet itself now that the tax plan including millionaire tax has been adopted or are they too cowardly for that? #DEBAT”
