Dutch cabinet plans capital gains tax by 2028, targets box 3 savers and box 2 entrepreneurs

The Dutch cabinet has announced plans to introduce a capital gains tax by 2028, aiming to raise billions from savers and investors (box 3) and entrepreneurs (box 2). This marks a significant policy shift from the current wealth tax system, which has faced legal challenges. The proposal is part of a broader fiscal reform and is likely to face opposition from right-wing parties in the Tweede Kamer.
