Dutch finance minister says he has solved the box 3 'puzzle'
- —The new box 3 system taxes gains only on sale from 2028, leaving a €7.7 billion shortfall
- —Heinen did not reveal the funding source; BNR reports the money will come from the wealth domain
- —Crypto, physical gold and silver stay on annual deemed-return taxation until at least 2030
- —If the laws are not passed by end-2026, the 2028 launch of the new box 3 is at risk
Why it matters: The overhaul will shape how Dutch crypto investors are taxed, with BTC held on exchanges facing heavier treatment than bitcoin-tracking funds.
