Cura\u00e7ao\u2019s Social and Economic Council issues opinion on Minimum Tax Bill<\/span><\/h1>\n

WILLEMSTAD, May 20, 2025 \u2014 On Monday, May 19, the Social and Economic Council of Cura\u00e7ao (SER) submitted a formal advisory opinion to Minister of Finance Javier Silvania, currently serving in a caretaker capacity, concerning the draft National Ordinance on Minimum Taxation for 2025. The bill seeks to implement a 15 percent effective minimum tax on the profits of group entities within multinational enterprises that generate a global annual revenue of at least \u20ac750 million. The legislation aligns Cura\u00e7ao with the international commitments established under Pillar Two of the Inclusive Framework of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).<\/p>\n

The draft ordinance was first announced in late 2024 and formally submitted to Parliament (the Staten) in December 2024, where lawmakers approved the Minister\u2019s intention to proceed with the legislative process. With the issuance of the SER\u2019s opinion, the measure enters its next procedural phase. Parliamentary approval remains required. If adopted, the law will enter into force retroactively as of January 1, 2025.<\/p>\n

The proposed measure is intended to safeguard Cura\u00e7ao\u2019s corporate tax base by preventing revenue from shifting to jurisdictions that have already enacted top-up tax regimes. At the same time, it represents the country\u2019s alignment with broader global efforts to curb harmful tax competition and strengthen fiscal transparency.<\/p>\n

The SER deliberately opted for a phased and methodical approach in formulating its advice, citing the growing geopolitical volatility surrounding international tax policy. In particular, the Council referenced the fiscal posture of the United States under President Donald J. Trump, who returned to office in January 2025. The current U.S. administration has signaled strong opposition to global tax provisions it deems extraterritorial or discriminatory toward American companies.<\/p>\n

Should U.S. authorities unfavorably view the tax proposal, Cura\u00e7ao could face retaliatory tax measures, especially if American multinationals are adversely affected by the new regime. Against this backdrop, the Council placed specific emphasis on diplomatic positioning, implementation strategy, and legal viability. While affirming the importance of modernizing Cura\u00e7ao\u2019s tax framework, the SER also underscored the need for policy flexibility\u2014should shifting international conditions warrant recalibration.<\/p>\n

SER brengt advies uit over ontwerp minimumbelasting Cura\u00e7ao<\/span><\/h1>
\u00a0<\/p>
WILLEMSTAD, 20 mei 2025 \u2013 De Sociaal-Economische Raad (SER) heeft op maandag 19 mei jongstleden een formeel advies uitgebracht aan demissionair minister van Financi\u00ebn Javier Silvania over de ontwerplandsverordening minimumbelasting 2025. Het wetsontwerp beoogt de invoering van een effectieve minimumbelasting van 15 procent op de winst van groepsentiteiten binnen multinationale ondernemingen met een wereldwijde jaaromzet van ten minste 750 miljoen euro. Hiermee sluit Cura\u00e7ao aan bij de internationale afspraken zoals vastgelegd in het zogenoemde Pijler 2-raamwerk van de Organisatie voor Economische Samenwerking en Ontwikkeling (OESO).<\/p>
Het wetsvoorstel werd eind 2024 aangekondigd en is in december van dat jaar formeel aangeschreven aan de Staten van Cura\u00e7ao, die destijds instemden met het voornemen tot invoering. Met het recente SER-advies is een volgende stap gezet in het wetgevingsproces. De landsverordening vereist nog formele parlementaire goedkeuring. Als de Staten akkoord gaan, zal de regeling in werking treden met terugwerkende kracht tot 1 januari 2025.<\/p>
De voorgestelde belastingmaatregel is gericht op het waarborgen van een minimumniveau van belastingheffing in Cura\u00e7ao. Daarmee wordt voorkomen dat belastinggrondslagen weglekken naar andere jurisdicties die wel bijheffingsmaatregelen toepassen. Tegelijkertijd sluit het voorstel aan bij een bredere internationale beweging tegen schadelijke belastingconcurrentie.<\/p>
De SER heeft ervoor gekozen het adviestraject gefaseerd en planmatig op te bouwen. Die benadering was ingegeven door de toenemende geopolitieke onzekerheid, in het bijzonder als gevolg van het gewijzigde fiscale beleid van de Verenigde Staten onder president Donald J. Trump, die sinds januari dit jaar opnieuw het Witte Huis bezet. De Amerikaanse regering heeft inmiddels te kennen gegeven kritisch te staan tegenover internationale belastingregels die als extraterritoriaal of discriminerend jegens Amerikaanse bedrijven worden beschouwd. Mocht de minimumbelasting ongunstig uitpakken voor Amerikaanse multinationals, loopt Cura\u00e7ao het risico mogelijkerwijs geconfronteerd te worden met wederkerige belastingmaatregelen vanuit Washington.<\/p>
Voor de SER vormden deze ontwikkelingen aanleiding om bijzondere aandacht te besteden aan diplomatieke positionering, timing en uitvoerbaarheid van het voorstel. De SER acht het van belang dat Cura\u00e7ao zijn fiscale stelsel moderniseert, maar tegelijkertijd ruimte behoudt voor aanpassing als de internationale verhoudingen daarom vragen.<\/p>
