This is terrifying. It would destroy the entire financial system along with many publicly traded corporations as their stock would plummet

There's a carve out for real estate gains. For the people that stay they might shift capital over to the real estate market and the prices will skyrocket.
Of course some bureaucrat will pass another law about affordable housing at that point.

Wonder how many Netherlanders bought SpaceX stock.

You'd be dumb as hell to do it.
Remember, the government is also the entity that determines the "value" of the property. It doesn't actually have to really be worth what they say it's worth for them to impose the tax.
EDIT: Missed the post above about the real estate exception. He's right, though...that's next.

You’re too dumb to understand the “unintended” consequences of a policy like this.

the threshold is €1800 so you'd only start paying the 36% Box 3 tax once your actual return (interest, dividends, rent, value gains, etc.) exceeds that €1,800 threshold in a given yea
is that a lot to you? quote:
The new system is trying to fix that by taxing what you actually earn
Are you calling unrealized gains earnings? Good Lord.
How are they going to value closely held entities? How often? If they tried this here the courts would be absolutely packed every year over disputes. This is an awful idea. Unless you’re a poor who thinks 1800 euro is a lot.

And further analysis shows it was called off. And this was 7 months ago.

NETHERLANDS: Dutch Government bows to pressure over controversial tax on unrealised gains
Image
As published on: brusselssignal.eu, Wednesday 25 February, 2026.
Dutch finance minister Eelco Heinen has announced a dramatic reversal of the recently approved — and passionately opposed — Box 3 tax reform.
In doing so, he is conceding that the controversial levy on unrealised capital gains will be scrapped in favour of a more traditional approach.
The decision comes just weeks after the House of Representatives passed the bill, as mounting criticism from investors, business leaders and political factions forced the new centre-left government to reconsider its strategy.
The Actual Return in Box 3 Act, approved on February 12 with 93 votes, was designed to replace a deemed-return system previously struck down by the Supreme Court for violating property rights.
Under these new rules, savings and investments would be taxed at a flat 36 per cent rate based on actual yields, including annual paper gains on assets such as stocks, bonds and cryptocurrencies; a move intended to prevent further financial losses for the Treasury after years of court-ordered refunds.
Yet the reform quickly sparked outrage.

You tax their gains, but allowing loss offset is a break? This is a real good way to halt investment. Do you know how many revolutionary creations were long shots? You want to eliminate that. Brilliant strategy.

Yep. I got a lot of downvotes from retards on this board for stating that their Parliament did not pass the measure, despite the OP saying that it had. Apparently this board doesn’t understand how a bicameral legislature works, despite us having one here.

Why?
You don't think they would apply the tax to unrealized gains for silver and gold?

I still am amazed that the Netherlands has about 19 million people liviing there/
The size of the country is (roughly) 42000 square km
That is Maryland. Those people live almost on top of each other (imagine three New York cities and tag on a Chicago and put it all in Maryland).
No wonder they all have no cars but just do bicycles.

Oh it gets even better when you look at the makeup of the coalition government in the lower chamber that passed this and who defended it...

Lived there for a couple years right out of high school (88-90). There was some open country there, but not much.
