- The Dutch parliament is concerned about the new VAT system for the Tax Authority being supplied by an American company, but most do not support stopping the project.
- The current VAT system is outdated and urgently needs replacement; further delays pose risks to operations and new legislation.
- There are worries about potential U.S. government access to Dutch tax data and influence over the system.
- Extra safeguards are being implemented, including local data storage and management by Dutch staff, with plans for full local control in the future.
- Cancelling the project is considered unrealistic due to contractual obligations and the risk of significant delays; the first phase of the new system is set for this summer.
