The political party Venstre has introduced an economic plan for Denmark focused on increasing national wealth through a 20 billion kroner annual tax reform. The proposal seeks to lower corporate taxes from 22 percent to 20 percent and provide additional support for small and medium-sized enterprises to improve work incentives and affordability.

Following the formation of a new red government, Venstre leader Troels Lund Poulsen has positioned the party as a constructive opposition. While expressing a willingness to cooperate on matters of national security, defense, and education, Poulsen has criticized the new administration’s economic platform. Specifically, the party has raised concerns regarding the lack of clear funding for proposed social benefits, such as public transport and free dental care, suggesting these may increase the tax burden on citizens.
