🇳🇱 Dutch Lawmakers Approve 36% Tax on Unrealized Gains
Following Norway’s example, the Netherlands has moved to tax unrealized investment profits at 36%.
🔹 Norway’s Case: Expected $146M in extra revenue per year. Reality? A $448M loss in yearly tax receipts due to behavioral changes and capital flight.
💥 Lesson Ahead: Unrealized gains taxes can backfire — investors often adjust positions, move assets, or defer recognition, shrinking the tax base instead of growing it.
💡 Key takeaway: Policy intentions don’t always translate into revenue; market behavior can drastically alter expected outcomes.
Do Dutch investors pivot early, or will lawmakers adjust after the first fiscal shock?
