ALERT: Dutch Tax Chief Steps Down Amid 36% Wealth Tax Controversy
Political turmoil hits the Netherlands.
Nathalie van Berkel, the Dutch State Secretary of Finance and architect of the contentious 36% tax on unrealized gains, has resigned abruptly after it was revealed she falsified her academic credentials. The scandal comes as public opposition to the tax intensifies.
But the bill isn’t dead.
Even with 35,000+ citizens signing a petition against it, the Senate is scheduled to vote on March 15. If approved, the tax will kick in January 1, 2028, applying to stocks, ETFs, and crypto holdings alike.
A resignation shakes the spotlight—but not necessarily the policy.
Will lawmakers press ahead, or could this spark a wider revolt?
