Madelon Vos wrote that entrepreneurs, according to the CEO of DSM, needed a reliable government, but did not get one. She stated that Dutch politics trivialized the effects of the income tax in box 2 and the high rates in box 3, and that this policy severely affected entire sectors, including the Dutch crypto and precious metals sector with more than two million investors. Vos wrote that investors had to keep track of their real returns themselves, while some banks and brokers could not provide that data and the Tax Authority had not yet verified the calculations. According to her, investors would want to deduct inflation, transaction costs, currency costs, and subscription costs from that calculation. She also reported that the man who had been at the basis of the law had since advocated for the withdrawal of the amendment and the law and for a new piece of legislation. Furthermore, Vos pointed to the rising interest rates in France and the possible consequences of that for the Netherlands. She wondered if war was looming and wrote that the Netherlands was increasing pressure on Russia. https://t.co/X4T4ze43tV #ondernemen #beleggen #politiek (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)

Madelon Vos wrote that companies in the precious metals sector spoke out against the unequal treatment in the plans for Box 3. According to her, the government should not treat people differently based on where they store their gold. She urged readers to sign the petition and share her message. https://t.co/36vAe97pcX #Edelmetaal #GelijkSpeelveld #Petitie (translated)

That crypto and precious metals do not automatically fall into the existing list of exceptions can simply be fixed through a legislative amendment. In short, a fallacy by @Stas_Financien @eelcoeerenberg. Thus states @pesla. Dismissing this with "can't because it's not in the bill" is argumentatively insufficient. #crypto #edelmetaal #wetgeving (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 VVD pretends that the Box 3 issue has been resolved and that the system is now 'fairer'. Crypto and precious metal investors will still have to pay taxes on their unrealized gains. FVD wants to abolish Box 3. That is truly fair. Support us: https://t.co/VNKfQS0Exx https://t.co/WwUCht3Qoi https://t.co/VNKfQS0Exx https://t.co/WwUCht3Qoi #Box3 #belastingen #financiën (translated)

The cabinet wants to spare the small saver and investor with small changes. Then the threshold will most likely go up from 1000 euros to 1500 euros? But so far, there seems to be no change in sight for (small) crypto, bitcoin, and precious metal investors regarding the wealth accumulation tax. #spaarders #beleggen #cryptovaluta (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)

The first sentence is already incorrect: tax on paper profits still applies to crypto, bitcoin, and precious metals. You are turning the entire Dutch crypto and precious metal industry upside down. Entrepreneurs were allowed to borrow 700,000 euros from their company in 2023, now only 100,000. #cryptocurrency #belasting #nlbeleid (translated)
