If you're Dutch 🇳🇱, you have 14 months left to escape the country. The Netherlands is about to completely reform Box 3. And it’s going to be ugly. The plan is to introduce one of the worst taxes I've seen in Europe. With the new 36% tax on unrealized gains, literally everything will be affected: > Company value > Public stocks > Crypto > ETFs > Any other investments And the craziest part is that you will have to pay tax, even if the value goes down before the tax bill arrives. That means entrepreneurs & investors could literally get margin-called by their own government. How? Well, most people don't keep their wealth in cash. Wealth is usually tied to company value, assets or investments. And so people will be forced to sell parts of their assets just to have the liquidity to cover the tax liability. No wonder more than 60.000 Dutch people signed a petition against this. Even Shopify founder Tobi Lütke said: "This is the dumbest thing any government on planet earth is pursuing right now." Interestingly, the pressure might actually be working. Just a few days ago, the Dutch government suddenly announced that it wants to revise the 2028 system & move "as much of Box 3 as possible" towards an actual capital gains tax instead. But no one knows what this will mean exactly & nothing is official yet. In any case, the direction of the country is clear: Higher taxes, more control & less incentives to build wealth. Which is exactly why we already see the consequences: Dutch entrepreneurs, investors & families quietly became one of our main clientele. And one of their top destinations is Cyprus 🇨🇾: > 0% tax on unrealized gains > 0% tax on capital gains > 0% tax on dividends/interest as a Non-Dom > 3-15% corporate tax > No exit tax But even if you want to leave the Netherlands as well now, there is one big problem: If you own 5%+ of a BV, the Dutch tax office can assess your exit & might send you tax bills even after leaving. So if you want to leave the Netherlands properly, definitely make sure to get an individual consultation call asap. It’s better to have an exit strategy in place, before it is too late.

Het Binnenhof is al eeuwenlang het kloppend hart van de Nederlandse regering en democratie. Het is zelfs het oudste regeringscentrum ter wereld dat nog altijd in gebruik is. Iets om trots op te zijn en te koesteren. Zoals het dak van het beroemde Torentje. Dit houten bouwpakket uit Zweden stamt zelfs uit 1547! De afgelopen jaren zijn architecten, archeologen en bouwers dan ook hard aan het werk geweest om het gebouw toekomstbestendig te maken. Dat is nodig, zodat dit historische pand gebruikt kan blijven worden. Petje af aan alle mensen die hier dagelijks aan het werk zijn om dat voor elkaar te krijgen.
