Dutch Coalition and Opposition Strike Tax Deal With 38.5% Box 3 Rate

D66 and CDA, two parties of the Dutch minority coalition, reached a deal on the 2027 tax plan with opposition parties PRO and Volt on November 11, NL Times reported. The third coalition party, VVD, is not part of the agreement, and NL Times described it as wavering.

According to NL Times, Box 3, the Dutch tax on savings and investments, would get a new rate of 38.5% on returns above 60,000 euros a year, while the standard rate falls from 36% to 35.5%. The tax-free allowance stays at 59,357 euros, or 118,714 for couples. The Box 3 change is expected to raise 221 million euros, and the full package shifts about 1 billion euros in taxes. Debelegger.nl reported that the exact start date will follow from the amended bill text.

NOS reported that the House of Representatives scheduled an extra debate with Prime Minister Jetten for November 12 at 10:15, with votes on the 2027 tax plan postponed to that afternoon. The changes would also need majorities in both chambers, and NOS said it was unclear whether they would get them.

Crypto Insiders reported on November 8 that the separate amended Box 3 bill, which would tax directly held crypto on unrealized gains until 2030, was also planned for a House vote on November 12 and would still need Senate approval. Debelegger.nl noted that directly held crypto would be treated differently under the proposed transition. No vote outcome was available at the time of writing.
