I like your way of thinking, give businesses state guarantee for a loan equal to the taxes they paid over the last ten years.Crosswind wrote: ↑05 Apr 2020, 14:33 Let's talk money, my friends. Extract from official Brussels Airlines annual report 2018, code 621 : 40.245.263€
Previous year (2017) : 37.999.192€
Total amount paid to Belgium in two years (fiscal) : 78.244.455€. 78 millions euros ! 18 millions above the 60 millions currently "lost" by the SFPI-FPIM
If one really insist, we can calculate the total amount of taxes since the start of SNBA... It's huge. If you only take 35 millions a year for 15 year, you get a final amount paid to the state of around 525 millions, about half a billion € ! Is this monkey's money peanuts?
Next to that, a lot more of interesting and juicy incomes can still be incorporated (tickets and sales, taxes on Brussels Airport benefice).
Now question : who will choose not to take 40 millions a year ++, 3000 active people, 10 millions passengers/potential customers/visitors) a strategic know-how/capacity? The amount paid by the governement is ridiculous for such benefits.
However don’t take 261, which is social security, but take the actual taxes over a certain period.
As said before, there are a plethora of possible scenarios, I don’t think in any of them SN will have 3000 employees this time next year. 1500-2000 would be an educated guess.
