PoliticsFinance Minister Vincent Van Peteghem (CD&V) blows his mind at HLN after a weekend of negotiations in Wetstraat 16. Talks about a tax reform are progressing slowly. The top ministers will meet again on Wednesday. In the meantime, Van Peteghem is brooding on adjustments to try to convince his coalition partners. And striking: he also wants to meet the fear of an expensive shopping cart. “We are willing to set the VAT rate to 0% for a package of essential products.”
