Tax exemptions could lead to Socialdemokraterne rebellion

When Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt (Socialdemokraterne) presents the government's jobs and growth bill today, which is expected to include a lowering of corporate tax, she will butt heads with strong party members. A number of Socialdemokraterne members, including the powerful Henrik Sass Larsen, have protested against the expected move, which will reduce corporate taxes in Denmark from 25 to 22 percent. The government has said that the lower corporate taxes are expected to generate hundreds of jobs in the first year, but many politicians and analysts argue that there is no proof that it will do so. – Jyllands-Posten
