Entrepreneurs have also been wrongly treated as fraudsters

PETITION “Entrepreneurs also wrongly treated as fraudsters” will be followed up with Ministry of Finance.

Entrepreneurs are talking about the lack of recognition, the submitted documents and being out in the cold for five years. The petition presented to MPs last Tuesday about entrepreneurs wrongly suspected of fraud was introduced into the Finance 'Taxation' Committee debate on 19 March 2026 by Inge van Dijk, chaired by Tom van der Lee.

“The unjustified fraud suspicions, CAF investigations, risk selections, collaborations between governments have led to bankruptcies and loss of income. This goes beyond Taxes and Private individuals, but also Blue. It also affects Fees. That is why I think it is important that we do not look at these kinds of signals individually, but look at the coherence and address them in a timely manner. “Honestly, as a member of parliament, I hear these kinds of stories and sometimes I don't know where to start. While all the alarm bells go off. Is the Secretary of State for Finance (Eelco Eerenberg) willing, together with the Secretary of State for Benefits, together with an independent advocate, to talk to a delegation from the Interest Group for Duped Entrepreneurs Allowances (GOT)? And to give the result back to what his observations are.” says Inge van Dijk. Response by Secretary of State for Finance Eelco Eerenberg: “The petition about entrepreneurs who were wrongly suspected of fraud, as the petition is called: short and good, I would like to talk to my fellow Secretary of State. I hear the heartfelt cry in the petition. I would love to have a conversation together'. The RAM file 'the government monster' was also addressed by Dogukan Ergin. The Data Protection Authority (AP) | Dutch DPA has raised serious concerns. Inge van Dijk also sees a connection with the petition, the use and sharing of data.
