These cash transfers are usually an amount that brings a recipient’s income to meet the poverty line. Studies have shown that a Basic Income not only keeps people out of poverty, but also allows them to pursue further educational and employment goals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a53a31718dbb4ac2de651c/1622567270062-AN0DPKR37H0T42HNT6TU/3.png Basic Income NL - Basic Income Helps Everyone: A Basic Income would ensure that everyone is able to meet their basic needs, regardless of their ability to work. When we prioritize the needs of our most vulnerable, we pave the way for a just and equitable society. Implementing Basic Income will not cost more for government or tax payers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a53a31718dbb4ac2de651c/1623853847156-V14VTG8LV4O1O824VDM3/2.png Basic Income NL - How it works: We suggest a model based on a Refundable Tax Credit (RTC), which provides an income for everyone. Using the RTC model, the Basic Income provided to a person would have to be refunded if their income exceeded the threshold. If implemented, this model would replace our current Income Support system and dramatically reduce the cost of poverty. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a53a31718dbb4ac2de651c/6549befe-9c9e-41db-b0d6-23e393e3ae11/BI+2.jpg Basic Income NL Photo features a person standing with a brick building in the background.
