30% tax target
Define the metric and a conditional trajectory.
Competitiveness · scenario
Work, competitiveness and social-protection pact
Connect structural savings to sustainable tax cuts, higher take-home pay and major administrative simplification.
Property, housing and capital
The pact is extended by a package covering inheritance, private rental, energy certificates and home-improvement freedom: open package.
A strategic revision, not a rewrite of the published Plan
Published Plan
The 155 source measures remain unchanged. Measure 6.01 therefore remains a 50% constitutional cap and measure 6.03 a €300,000 inheritance allowance per child.
strategic scenario
The site adds a clearly separate prospective layer: a much lower tax burden on work, investment and transfer of family assets, conditional on actual structural savings.
How the pact fits together
1. Reform spendingAgencies, layers, rules, duplication and overhead.
2. Close the deficitPart of savings must first stabilise public finances.
3. Cut labour costsTurn savings and poorly targeted aid into durable contribution cuts.
4. Restart supplyHigher take-home pay, investment, firm creation and growth.
Rigor: the Plan’s high scenario reaches up to €350bn/year, but that amount is not automatically available for tax cuts. Deficit closure, transition costs, priority services and debt reduction come first.
Eleven connected workstreams
Gross-to-net pay
Cut the labour tax wedge.
Social benefits
Make work always increase disposable income.
Housing
Compare Nordic means tests and caps.
Business support
Remove unnecessary schemes without double-counting contribution relief.
Production taxes
Accelerate the removal of taxes due before profit.
Micro-business
Test doubled/tripled thresholds and a growth bridge.
Inheritance
Test a much larger exemption, potentially €1m depending on the chosen unit.
Fuel
Model a low tax floor within legal and climate constraints.
120-day permits
Parallel reviews and enforceable timelines without weaker outcomes.
Proportionality
Heavy files only for heavy risks.
The financing test
Compulsory levies were 43.6% of GDP in 2025. A mechanical reduction to 30% would be a 13.6-point change — roughly €400bn at the scale of the 2025 economy. The site therefore treats 30% as a long-run destination, not as an already funded promise.
