The government wants to close the deficit in the government budget by raising the withholding tax on the interest of saving certificates, term accounts and saving accounts. The withholding tax will raise from 15 percent to 25 percent. Van Rompuy, the prime minister, wants to gain € 1,1 billion from the new fiscal incomes. Another € 1,1 billion will come from banks and the energy sector. The savings, the third part of the plan, will not have a big impact on social security. Next week, the government will finish the government budget.

The withholding tax is a tax on money that you get from employers (dividends) or from financial institutions (interests). This tax will rise from 15 percent to 25 percent.
