Netherlands' new box 3 tax forces investors to track profits: 'one big chaos'
- —Dutch banks say they need 18 months to adapt IT systems and refuse to calculate client profits
- —Finance Minister Eelco Heinen: burden of proof lies with the taxpayer, every trade may need to be recorded
- —Crypto and physical gold/silver will stay under accretion tax in 2028–2029, not realized gains tax
- —Each year of delay costs the budget about €2.4 billion
Why it matters: For crypto investors in the Netherlands, uncertainty persists: until 2030 crypto is taxed differently from stocks, potentially affecting portfolio structures and reporting.
