Bitcoin News: Unrecognized gains from Bitcoin may be taxed annually, the Netherlands' Box 3 bill is still pending Senate review

Bitcoin News posted on platform X that the Box 3 tax bill currently under review in the Dutch Parliament proposes to tax the actual annual returns on investments, including the appreciation of unsold assets. The Dutch Tax Administration explicitly includes cryptocurrency assets stored in personal wallets, exchanges, or third parties when calculating actual returns.

The Dutch government is studying a shift to a capital gains tax system, which would tax the appreciation of assets when gains are realized, but stated that during the review period of the relevant adjustments, the existing 2028 proposal remains the basis. The bill has been passed by the House of Representatives and is still pending review by the Senate, with the final system potentially subject to adjustments before 2028.
