In his opinion article, Peter de Waard argues that the new capital gains tax is at risk of becoming a complex and unjust system, with risks of legal challenges and uneven tax burdens, and he advocates for simplification by restoring the old capital tax with adjusted rates. #vermogenswinstbelasting #belasting #financieelbeleid (translated)

Madelon Vos wrote that the plans for the new box 3 system, which were announced last week, had caused unrest among politicians, savers, entrepreneurs, and investors. Although the capital gains tax was presented as a victory, she argued that small savers and investors would be the victims. Additionally, people would temporarily have to pay taxes annually on paper gains from bitcoin and precious metals, even if they had not sold anything. Vos also pointed to rising global interest rates and a greater interest rate differential between France and Germany. She wondered what that indicated about investor confidence and how much room governments still had if inflation and scarcity of raw materials further pushed up interest rates. According to her, the higher interest rates would also affect the real estate market: Dutch houses could depreciate in real terms next year. In an episode of Madelon Praat, she discussed how taxes, interest, and inflation impacted people's wealth. https://t.co/hVinv3HF4l #belasting #rente #inflatie (translated)

Forum for Democracy called the cabinet's response incomprehensible. The party referred to the question of why savers could supposedly build up assets more difficultly via Box 3 and wrote that the cabinet had cited the accelerated introduction of a capital gains tax as evidence that people would be able to invest better as a result. https://t.co/2koLz1sAzM #Box3 #Vermogensbelasting #Financiën (translated)

"I personally don't know anyone with 100 thousand euros in the bank." Heinen appeared somewhat surprised by the widespread opposition, as he was under the impression that he had already spared the 'small saver and investor' by setting the tax-free threshold at 1,000 euros. #vermogenswinstbelasting #TweedeKamer #belastingplannen (translated)

Minister Eelco Heinen of Finance is looking for alternative financing for the capital gains tax after the House of Representatives expressed unanimous criticism of his proposed tax increase for savers and smaller investors. #vermogenswinstbelasting #TweedeKamer #belastingplannen (translated)

I just saw the debate between @MPHoogeveen and @Stas_Financien about the difference in taxation between directly held bitcoin, in a wallet or on an exchange (capital gains tax), and bitcoin through an investment product at a bank or broker (wealth tax). @Stas_Financien states that crypto cannot be included in the amendment, because the existing exception for start-ups and scale-ups can only be extended to other securities. But is that really true?! An amendment is a legislative proposal with which you can modify and/or supplement another legislative proposal. The fact that there is currently no exception for crypto (and precious metals) does not automatically mean that you cannot add one. If speed is the reason to accept that difference, then concretely justify why direct crypto/precious metals cannot be included in time. My question would be: What concrete legal provision makes it impossible for crypto/precious metals to be included in the same amendment? Saying "that exception was not included yet" is not sufficient. It didn't exist for start-ups either, but was also added. Think of an addition for regulated institutions, exchanges, or brokers that have a license or AFM permit. #Crypto #Belasting #Wetgeving (translated)

Why is it being suggested that you are completely transitioning to capital gains tax, while not mentioning crypto and precious metal investors at all?! Those who will have to pay the capital gains tax and an entire industry with thousands of jobs that will be destroyed?! #vermogenswinstbelasting #crypto #edelmetalen (translated)

The Jetten cabinet must go back to the drawing board after revelations about the high costs of the capital gains tax, which primarily shifts the burden from small savers and investors to wealthier Dutch citizens, leading to significant political opposition. #Begroting #Belastingen #Financiën (translated)

From 2028, the wealth tax in the Netherlands will change to a system where tax is paid on actual returns made, with the introduction of a capital gains tax, which means that savers will pay tax on interest received and investors will only pay tax on realized profits upon selling shares. #vermogensbelasting #box3 #belastingplan (translated)

From 2028, the capital gains tax will be applied to bitcoin and crypto, which will lead many investors to sell before that time. They are investing in a bitcoin/crypto ETF, ETN, ETP, because of capital gains tax. In 2030, bitcoin and crypto will also be subject to capital gains tax. However, investors will not sell their ETF, ETN, ETP to exchange back for 'actual bitcoin/crypto', because then capital gains tax will come into play. Tax is the behavioral incentive. Control is the goal. #Bitcoin #Crypto #Beleggen (translated)

Can someone tell me why it will be possible to apply capital gains tax for stocks, bonds, and securities from 2028, but for bitcoin, precious metals, and crypto only from 2031?! Which means that these assets will first fall under the wealth accumulation tax. Weren't the tax authority's systems what made capital gains tax impossible at this stage? Or have those systems suddenly become selective? #belasting #vermogenswinstbelasting #cryptocurrency (translated)

In hun Kamerbrief stellen minister van Financiën Eelco Heinen (VVD) en diens staatssecretaris Eelco Eerenberg (D66) de oppositie voor het heffingsvrije inkomen in box 3 volgend jaar bijna te halveren van 60.098 naar 30.846 euro. #belastingvoordeel #vermogenswinstbelasting #Nederland

Het kabinet-Jetten introduceert vanaf 2028 een belastingvoordeel van ongeveer 12 miljard euro voor de rijkste Nederlanders, wat leidt tot een aanzienlijke belastingverhoging voor minder vermogenden, die jaarlijks meer dan 500 miljoen euro extra zullen moeten betalen. #belastingvoordeel #vermogenswinstbelasting #Nederland

Wel bizar hoor: vermogensaanwasbelasting werd aangedragen als de énige mogelijkheid, omdat vermogenswinstbelasting voor de systemen van de fiscus veel te ingewikkeld was. Nu blijkt: vermogenswinstbelasting kan ineens toch wel vanaf 2028 (en raakt iedereen met +/-10k aan beleggingen), maaaaar niet voor bitcoin en cryptobezitters met vermogen op een Ledger. Zij worden ieder jaar gestraft in de vorm van vermogensaanwas belasting. Bewaar je het bij een bank dan geldt vermogenswinstbelasting. Wat een gelulhannes! Kan iemand mij vertellen waarom @Minister_FIN dit in vredesnaam geaccordeerd heeft?! #belasting #cryptovaluta #vermogensbelasting
