Netherlands: Crypto Excluded From Fast-Track Box 3 Reform, Stays Under Annual Wealth Tax Until 2030
- —Stocks, bonds and options move to capital gains tax from 2028
- —Crypto stays under annual wealth accretion tax until 2030
- —Crypto held via exchange-traded trackers defers tax until sale, creating a behavioral incentive
- —From 2027 the flat-rate levy rises and the tax-free allowance nearly halves
Why it matters: The unequal treatment of direct crypto holdings versus exchange-traded products may push Dutch investors into trackers before 2028.
