Netherlands House backs 36% capital gains tax on savings and crypto, 93 votes

The Netherlands' House of Representatives advanced a proposal to impose a 36% capital gains tax on savings and liquid investments, including cryptocurrencies. The measure cleared the 75-vote hurdle with 93 lawmakers in favor and would apply starting in the 2028 tax year if the Senate also approves it. Exemptions include equity in qualifying start-ups and physical property used for non-investment.
