Making the self-employed save 20% of their gross income for pensions is “proportional”, according to the Dutch pension federation. The organisation has given the government positive advice about making this obligatory. Others, such as the Circle of Pension Specialists (KPS), have different views. Earlier this year, four political parties (VVD, D66, CDA and SGP) proposed a new law making it mandatory for the self-employed to save for their pensions.
