Regional unity strengthened as CESISALC Presidency passes from Cura\u00e7ao to Guatemala<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

Willemstad\/Guatemala City, September 24, 2025 \u2013 On Tuesday, September 22, the official handover of the presidency of the regional network of socio-economic advisory councils and similar institutions of Latin America and the Caribbean (CESISALC) took place in Guatemala City. The Social and Economic Council (SER) of Cura\u00e7ao, which successfully held the presidency over the past two years, formally transferred leadership to Guatemala during a hybrid ceremony. A two-member delegation from the SER of Cura\u00e7ao attended in person, while other members joined virtually.<\/p>\n

The session also marked the presentation of CESISALC\u2019s 2025 Annual Report. The report underscored significant achievements, including the strengthening of institutionalized social dialogue across the region, the expansion of membership, the launch of the Ibero-American platform RICESIS, and the increased visibility of CESISALC in international arenas such as the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the United Nations.<\/p>\n

In its closing statement, the outgoing Presidency of Cura\u00e7ao emphasized the strategic importance of further modernizing CESISALC\u2019s legal and institutional framework. It urged a comprehensive review of the network\u2019s statutory documents, the full digitalization of its archives, and the establishment of periodic evaluation mechanisms. These reforms are designed to enhance transparency, legitimacy, and institutional resilience, ensuring CESISALC\u2019s continued relevance and effectiveness in addressing the region\u2019s pressing socio-economic challenges.<\/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>
