Tax on Bitcoin Gains? Dutch Government to Introduce Capital Gains Tax From 2028

Dutch people could soon be paying tax on their bitcoin gains β€” if they sell.Β 

The Dutch government on Tuesday announced that it was planning to introduce a capital gains tax starting from 2028.Β 

If approved, gains on investments would be paid when they are realized, rather than imposing levies on assumed returns or unrealized increases in value, a Tuesday the Dutch cabinet to the House of Representatives read.

β€œThe earning capacity of the Dutch economy calls for a way of taxing wealth that facilitates investment,” the letter read.Β 

It added that most financial instruments would be taxed from 2028 while remaining assets would transition two years later. The letter wasn’t clear whether digital assets would be taxed in 2028 or from 2030.Β 

Bitcoin and digital assets in the Netherlands are currently taxed based on an assumed annual yield rather than your actual or realized profits. Tax authority currently assumes assets earned a notional 4% return, regardless of what you actually earned.

Regulations in Europe regarding crypto and taxes are mixed but on the whole stricter than the U.S.Β 

Since January, the European Union’s DAC8 directive has required crypto exchanges to collect detailed data on their users and transactions and report it to national tax authorities, much like banks already do for ordinary accounts.

But not all countries within the trading bloc are strict: Germany still exempts crypto held for more than a year, and Portugal does the same after 365 days.
