Farid Azarkan has no pity for Jort Kelder. The presenter of Op1 complains that he has to pay a disproportionate amount of wealth tax, while his investments are significantly negative. “Ah!”
It is a hard blow for people with investments or real estate: from this year, considerably more tax will have to be paid on them, even if their value falls. This year, the tax authorities are working with an increased notional return of 6.13 percent, on which 32 percent tax must be paid.
George angry
Ridiculous, Jort Kelder thinks. The presenter of Op1 gives an insight into his investment portfolio. He shows that his tech shares are now 72 thousand euros in the negative, a decrease of more than 41 percent.
He writes: “According to the tax authorities I have become 6.17 percent richer (so I pay 32 percent) but according to my bank I have become 41.11 percent poorer. Guess. Expropriation befitting a country with the flattest income distribution in the world and a falling (not rising) wealth gap. Rich, don’t take it.”
Fine throwing
Another Jort investment basket is down 11 percent, representing a loss of 43 thousand euros. “The tax penalty for my other ING package is just as wrong in principle, but less severe: 6.17 percent despite a 40k loss. Fiscus has already sent a letter: just deposit 15 grand in advance, politicians can throw it nicely again!”
The Tax and Customs Administration is shocked in a tweet that Jort even publishes his provisional assessment online. “Hi Jort, I saw your tweet with our letter and would like to respond to this. The letter contains personal information, such as your address and assessment number. This can cause unsafe situations, so it is wise to delete this photo.”
Farid critical
Farid Azarkan, party chairman of DENK, has no pity for the Op1 star. He tweets: “Oh, Jort Kelder anyway. The rich have been pecking for centuries.”
Jort gets a lot of angry reactions. “They just take from the rich! ??? *end of cynicism*”, says Bianca, for example.
Mike: “Can I puke?”
And Douwe: “The complaining of the real estate men has been embarrassing lately, but this call may even surpass that.”
