Madelon Vos wrote that the plans for the new box 3 system, which were announced last week, had caused unrest among politicians, savers, entrepreneurs, and investors. Although the capital gains tax was presented as a victory, she argued that small savers and investors would be the victims. Additionally, people would temporarily have to pay taxes annually on paper gains from bitcoin and precious metals, even if they had not sold anything. Vos also pointed to rising global interest rates and a greater interest rate differential between France and Germany. She wondered what that indicated about investor confidence and how much room governments still had if inflation and scarcity of raw materials further pushed up interest rates. According to her, the higher interest rates would also affect the real estate market: Dutch houses could depreciate in real terms next year. In an episode of Madelon Praat, she discussed how taxes, interest, and inflation impacted people's wealth. https://t.co/hVinv3HF4l #belasting #rente #inflatie (translated)
