With the new year come changes in employee taxation as well as social security and health insurance. The maximum assessment base for social security contributions has increased and the limit from which wages are taxed at 23% has been raised. Many employers will be keen on the possibility to apply a discount on insurance premiums for selected ‘vulnerable’ employees in part-time employment. And after almost twenty years, the income threshold for the obligation to file a personal income tax return has been significantly increased.

The importance of digital infrastructure has increased immensely in the last three years. What was already a priority for many organisations suddenly became a necessity. As a result, the number of tech jobs available rocketed. Now these organisations have had time to stabilise, reflect and assess their needs for the future. It’s no secret that digital skills are already imperative for many in the workforce and innovation means that these will continue to be in demand among employers.
