The rates for the investment deduction for investments of assessment year 2024 were recently published. The rates for the 'special' investment deductions go up by as much as 7% due to inflation. However, the standard rate of 8% will not be indexed. As in previous years, different rates apply for one assessment year, partly because the 'corona rate' of 25% for SMEs remained in force until the end of 2022.
