The Dutch parliament has passed a bill to impose a 36% capital gains tax, which is scheduled to be implemented in the 2028 tax year.

The Dutch House of Representatives passed a legislative proposal on February 13th to impose a 36% capital gains tax on savings and most liquid investments, including cryptocurrencies. The proposal passed with 93 votes, meeting the 75-vote threshold for approval. According to the proposal, gains from savings accounts, cryptocurrencies, most equity investments, and interest-bearing financial instruments will be taxable regardless of whether the assets are sold. Certain assets, such as startup equity and non-investment physical assets, will be exempt. The proposal still needs approval from the Dutch Senate to take effect, and if passed, it will be implemented in the 2028 tax year. (Cointelegraph)
