Bert Slagter wrote that he saw the 36% rate as the biggest problem of box 3. According to him, that levy was not comparable to income tax, because the return partly compensated for the loss of purchasing power due to inflation. With a return of 8% and inflation of 3%, the tax effectively resulted in 58% of the real return, which he found much too high. https://t.co/h4yfrUgWQa #belasting #inflatie #financiën (translated)
Faced with the global enthusiasm for ube, a purple root from the Philippines, producers are struggling to keep up with the growing demand, exacerbated by declining yields and infrastructure challenges. #ube #agriculture #Filipines (translated)
Madelon Vos wrote that entrepreneurs, according to the CEO of DSM, needed a reliable government, but did not get one. She stated that Dutch politics trivialized the effects of the income tax in box 2 and the high rates in box 3, and that this policy severely affected entire sectors, including the Dutch crypto and precious metals sector with more than two million investors. Vos wrote that investors had to keep track of their real returns themselves, while some banks and brokers could not provide that data and the Tax Authority had not yet verified the calculations. According to her, investors would want to deduct inflation, transaction costs, currency costs, and subscription costs from that calculation. She also reported that the man who had been at the basis of the law had since advocated for the withdrawal of the amendment and the law and for a new piece of legislation. Furthermore, Vos pointed to the rising interest rates in France and the possible consequences of that for the Netherlands. She wondered if war was looming and wrote that the Netherlands was increasing pressure on Russia. https://t.co/X4T4ze43tV #ondernemen #beleggen #politiek (translated)

Sylvain Catherine considered that a person living in a nursing home and receiving rental income could sell the concerned property to finance their needs. He believed that increasing the return on this capital was artificial and that it would be more logical to consume it at this stage of life. He wondered whether the heirs were not the only beneficiaries of measures allowing for the preservation of the property. #EHPAD #finances #patrimoine (translated)
Jitse Groen wrote that he doubted whether a country would attract many foreign investors if it offered them lower returns and more risk than other countries. https://t.co/qE7uyogb4a #investeringen #financiën #risico (translated)
Arend Jan Kamp asked whether the government and the House of Representatives had thought about that. He wrote that investors would keep their data carefully and report their returns after inflation. According to him, some would also record broker, transaction, and currency costs, subscriptions, data, and courses. He also mentioned "Tosti's Damrak" and asked who that would be. Kamp wished those involved success with the implementation and administration. #box3 #beleggen #inflatie #financiën (translated)
Niels Koerts wrote that he would join BNR Beurs at 6:30 PM to discuss, among other things, a statement from Minister of Finance Eelco Heijnen. According to Koerts, Heijnen had said that investors had to keep track of their own returns for their tax returns. Koerts predicted that this would lead to great chaos. #beleggen #belasting #financien (translated)
Forum for Democracy stated that financially prudent Netherlands had little reason to cheer, according to the party. Although the tax on fictional returns was largely off the table, the new proposal for box 3 offered little perspective according to the party. The party referred to its website for its full explanation. https://t.co/tIcUPkUEYx #financieel #box3 #belasting (translated)

"You have to work very hard to not see the return," says the director of a non-profit organization that receives 13.6 million euros in subsidies from Flanders each year. I do not see that return, but I don't even have to put in much effort for that. Flanders subsidizes too generously. #Vlaanderen #subsidies #rendement (translated)
Heinen calculates a 2% return for 'small savers and investors'. I want to show you how ridiculously low that is. The average return on stocks is 12%: - S&P 500 or AEX - Over 40 years - With reinvestment of dividends It is distributed like this: - 25% of the years have negative returns (average -15%) - 75% of the years have positive returns (average +20%) In the positive years, you already pay tax with a 20% return on an asset of 5,000 euros and a tax-free result of 1,000 euros. Now the tax-free asset limit is 59,357 euros. Soon, the equivalent for investors will be 5,000 euros. "Yes, but many people are savers." That's right. That's exactly what we want to move away from. If there is one thing that we can agree on in Europe and the Netherlands, it's that people need to invest more. By the way, I think we should completely abolish the tax-free result and translate it into a lower rate. It's a logical concept for vab, but it mainly causes disruptions for vwb. #beleggen #rendement #financiën (translated)

Ah, we all know how this is going to end. - Back to €1,800 tax-free - The rate remains 36%, which is completely ridiculous - Crypto and gold? Too bad, just pay up on paper profits at least until 2030. And in the meantime, fictional returns in 2027 are set at +8%, because someone has to pay for it. Congratulations, huh! *VVD is patting itself on the back with a great plan* #belasting #cryptocurrency #financiën (translated)
„Het nieuwe systeem schept helderheid. In het huidige stelsel wordt met fictieve rendementen gewerkt. Als het goed gaat met de beleggingen is zo’n fictief rendement aantrekkelijk voor beleggers. Maar als het minder gaat, moet je in het huidige systeem toch belasting betalen, terwijl je misschien geen of weinig rendement hebt gemaakt. In het nieuwe systeem heb je geen zorgen over slechte jaren. De belasting beweegt mee met de rendementen.’’Marieke Blom, hoofdeconoom bij ING, ziet voordelen in de nieuwe manier waarop het kabinet vermogens wil belasten. #vermogensbelasting #beleggers #economie

Economists have mixed reactions to the new wealth tax, which will impose taxes on actual realized returns starting in 2028 and potentially forces more people to pay taxes, bringing both advantages and disadvantages for savers and investors. #vermogensbelasting #beleggers #economie (translated)
From 2028, the wealth tax in the Netherlands will change to a system where tax is paid on actual returns made, with the introduction of a capital gains tax, which means that savers will pay tax on interest received and investors will only pay tax on realized profits upon selling shares. #vermogensbelasting #box3 #belastingplan (translated)
