No burden reduction for transport sector in budget agreement

The agreement includes reforms to taxation and competitiveness, among others. A key point here is that the basic corporate tax rate will fall from 33.99 to 29% in 2018 and to 25% in 2020. The reduced rate for SMEs will fall from 25 to 20% for the first bracket of €100,000 profit in 2018. This can be called a victory for Finance Minister Van Overtveldt (N-VA)
