>The new Box 3 system replaces the old tax-free capital threshold (€57,684 in 2025) with a tax-free annual return of €1,800.
is the limit still the same? you get taxed on investments you haven’t sold if it’s over €57,684 in a year?
that’s insane if that’s actually the limit. imagine getting taxed because a christmas rally put you over and then the market dumped in january. why would you ever invest?

Taxes on ANY unrealized gains are theft. They’re taking money from you that you don’t actually have.

Needs details because this doesn’t seem logical at all… Bonds too?

“Why do European companies struggle to raise capital compared to the US?”
Taxing unrealised gains is absolute insanity.

I buy $500,000 worth of Stock. A misleading news article comes out which causes its worth to increase to $600,000. A day later the company comes out and says the article is erroneous. The stock returns to its original value.
I now owe $36,000 to the government.

What. The. Actual. Fuck. 36%?! On *unrealized* gains?
Edit: removed wrong context.

Time to pack your bags and leave the Netherlands. What a horrible idea. The amount of capital flight will be for the history books if this passes.

Taxing money you *might* get is insane

We have this in Ireland, Deemed Disposal, but only forced pay in year 7. I like the idea of a tax free amount in each year, we don’t have that in Ireland.
I agree with the underlying idea though, it is generally to catch wealthy borrowing off assets for income etc and paying no tax, eg Elon Musk.

These kind of taxes should only be applied to people who already have too much money… at the very least threshold should be €100M – €500M

This is basically the same thing England tried to do with the inheritance tax stuff for farmers with land.
