Dutch Petition Challenges Tax on Paper Investment Profits
Netherlands, Sunday, 15 February 2026.
Over 27,000 Dutch citizens have signed a petition opposing the proposed 2028 Box 3 tax reform that would tax unrealized investment gains annually. The grassroots movement advocates for an American-style system where investors pay taxes only when selling assets for actual profits, not on paper gains. Petitioners argue the current proposal forces citizens to pay taxes on money they haven’t received while bearing full investment risk. The campaign highlights how compound interest effects could reduce retirement savings by up to 80% over 30-40 years, with one example showing a €200,000 portfolio yielding €6.6 million less in the Netherlands compared to tax-free jurisdictions.
