Dutch House of Representatives approves new savings tax system

The Dutch House of Representatives has approved a new savings tax system. This reform shifts taxation from a presumed return to actual income generated from assets. The new system aims to tax individuals based on their real investment returns, meaning those with lower yields will pay less tax. This replaces the previous method which taxed a hypothetical return, often leading to over-taxation in years with poor market performance. This reform follows a series of legal challenges to the old system. Further changes are anticipated, with the government tasked to present a new plan by Prinsjesdag 2028.
