[Dutch MPs Plan to Support Taxation on Unrealized Gains, Including Crypto Assets, Starting in 2028]
According to Foresight News and Dutch local media NL Times, a majority of Dutch parliament members are prepared to vote in favor of taxing unrealized capital gains (including cryptocurrencies) starting in 2028. The reform, named the 'Box 3 Actual Return Tax Law,' will calculate annual asset appreciation, with an expected tax rate of 36%. Investors holding assets such as Bitcoin and stocks will be required to pay taxes on annual paper gains, even if the assets are not sold. This move stems from a Dutch court ruling that deemed the government's previous method of taxing based on virtual returns illegal. While most MPs acknowledge flaws in the proposed law, they still support it, as delaying implementation would cost the government €2.3 billion annually.
