Presumptive income and justice
Let’s not hide behind our finger anymore. Tax disparities between wage earners/pensioners and the self-employed have always been glaring. Enforcing the presumptive minimum income for the self-employed does not cure the problem, but it mitigates it noticeably.
Unions that insist that a freelancer can actually live on €268 a month have been disproved by the fact that the minimum income has only been challenged by a few hundred taxpayers. The measure may have a political cost, but its removal, now that it has been vindicated in practice, would have an even bigger one.
