Dutch House of Representatives Passes 36% Capital Gains Tax Bill, Scheduled for Implementation in 2028 Tax Year

Odaily News The Dutch House of Representatives passed a legislative proposal on February 13, aiming to impose a 36% capital gains tax on savings and most liquid investments, including cryptocurrencies. The proposal passed with 93 votes in favor, meeting the 75-vote threshold. According to the proposal, gains from savings accounts, cryptocurrencies, most equity investments, and interest-bearing financial instruments will be taxable, regardless of whether the assets are sold. Specific assets such as startup equity and non-investment physical assets may be exempt. The proposal still requires approval from the Dutch Senate before it can take effect; if passed, it will be officially implemented in the 2028 tax year. (Cointelegraph)
