NETHERLANDS HOUSE PASSES 36% TAX ON UNREALIZED GAINS
As expected, the Dutch House of Representatives has approved a 36% tax on unrealized capital gains, with only forward loss offsets permitted.
The proposal now moves to the Senate, where parties that supported the bill also hold a majority, making final approval likely.
Critics warn the measure could disrupt long term investment strategies, weaken compounding effects, and encourage capital outflows.
Several right leaning parties had publicly criticized the proposal in advance, but most ultimately voted in favor, citing fiscal constraints and the cost of delaying or revising the plan, stating "we don't like it either but we have to".

@HannyahZ I used to do Digital Renders of living spaces, I charged around depending on scale 2000.- . Unlimited revisions, sometimes it took a month to finish. Nowhere near te quality of a videogame. But demand and quality dictated I could charge that, as long as people buy.
@DearS_o_n You are who you know, and if you don't know anyone, you are nothing, opportunities, camaraderie, trust. Without these things men just aren't.
