Debate over Dutch tax revenues as AI affects employment

The possible effects of artificial intelligence on the Dutch tax system were examined, including potential job losses and further productivity gains that could reduce income-tax revenue. The discussion focused on how care and education could be funded if labour contributed less to the tax base.

The options presented included reducing the tax burden on labour while increasing taxes on capital, or raising value-added tax. Four possible ways of generating revenue elsewhere were mentioned, but no decision was reported.
