Denmark’s Liberal Party (Venstre) is advocating for corporate tax cuts and reduced regulatory burdens to strengthen the nation’s economy and security in an increasingly turbulent global landscape. This proposal comes as the government prepares a new long-term economic plan.

The initiative aims to enhance Denmark’s competitiveness and resilience, ensuring the country can meet its financial obligations, including a significant military build-up. Venstre’s vice-chairman, Stephanie Lose, emphasized the need to align with other European nations that are lowering corporate taxes.

The proposal includes reducing administrative burdens by at least 25% and critically evaluating the implementation of EU requirements. The Danish Chamber of Commerce supports these measures, viewing them as crucial for maintaining competitiveness.

However, the Socialist People’s Party (SF) opposes the tax cuts, arguing that surplus funds should be directed towards welfare programs. The debate highlights differing priorities within the Danish political landscape as the government prepares its economic reform plan.
