"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. (translated)
Heinen and Eerenberg admitted that they do not want to wait because they are in an incredible hurry. (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. (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. (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?! (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. (translated)
The government has presented plans to implement a full capital gains tax by 2028, meaning that savers, investors, and entrepreneurs will bear the costs of this tax change. (translated)
The House of Representatives is critical of the cabinet's plan for the capital gains tax, which would require 850,000 additional savers and investors to pay taxes, and wonders how the Ministry of Finance will close the budget gap of 500 million euros without disadvantaging small savers. (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. (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. (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? (translated)
Tax legislation is always an incentive for behavioral change: Capital gains tax on investments and wealth accumulation tax on bitcoin and crypto is a great way to put an end to the entire Dutch crypto industry. (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

Premier Rob Jetten (links) en Eelco Heinen, minister van Financiën geven een korte toelichting over de begroting voor het Ministerie van Algemene Zaken in Den Haag. #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
@DilanYesilgoz Puur een cosmetische verandering in Box 3. Zoals de VVD zelf al zei: uiteindelijk betaal je met de vermogenswinstbelasting evenveel als met de vermogensaanwasbelasting. De VVD heeft Nederland uitgeleverd aan links. Leuker kunnen we het niet maken; wel gemakkelijker. Bij PS2027! #VVD #Box3 #PS2027
Box 3 plannen uitgelekt: Het belastingvrije rendement zal dalen van €1800 naar €1000. Hierdoor gaan juist honderdduizenden méér spaarders en beleggers box 3 betalen. Iedereen die meer dan €1000 rendement behaalt, betaalt straks 36% belasting over het deel boven die grens. Het Overton Window in full effect. Van vermogensaanwas-, naar een hele scherpe vermogenswinst belasting. #belasting #box3 #vermogenswinst
Vanaf 2028 zullen meer beleggers en spaarders belasting gaan betalen door de invoering van een vermogenswinstbelasting, terwijl de eerder voorgestelde bezuinigingen op sociale zekerheid nu definitief zijn afgeblazen. #belastingplan #box3 #socialezekerheid
