@Financien Laat de overheid minder uitgeven in plaats van kortzichtige domme box 3 wetgeving erdoor drukken.

@Benchipichape Toyota telt ook dealerverkopen. Tesla niet. Daarmee Tesla best verkocht. Als je nog niet in een nieuwe Tesla gereden hebt, dan klets je (no offence) maar wat

@VVD @eelcoheinen BOX 3 idioterie eerst maar eens oplossen?

[dutcherr @dutcherr3]

Taxing unrealized capital gains is a fundamentally terrible idea. The Dutch "Wet werkelijk rendement" (Box 3 reform at 36% from 2028), taxing paper profits on stocks, ETFs, crypto and more, even without selling REPEATS every classic flaw of wealth taxes:

-Liquidity crisis: You owe tax on gains you haven't realized and have no cash from. This forces sales of assets (especially illiquid ones like startups, private equity or real estate) just to pay the bill, risking fire sales and personal bankruptcies.

-Volatility trap: Markets go up and down. You pay tax on temporary peaks that can vanish in a crash, with limited symmetry for losses. It's taxation of phantom income.

-Hurts investment, startups & growth: Removes the deferral benefit of capital gains taxes, lowers after-tax returns, raises the cost of capital and discourages saving and risk-taking. Startups, founders and innovation suffer most.

-Capital flight: Wealthy individuals, entrepreneurs and capital move to friendlier countries. France, Sweden and Norway SAW MILLIONAIRE EXITS AND LOST BILLIONS AFTER SIMILAR TAXES. The Netherlands, a small open economy, is especially vulnerable.

-Administrative nightmare: Annual valuations of illiquid assets lead to endless disputes, high compliance costs and bureaucracy for taxpayers and government alike.

-Poor revenue vs damage: These taxes historically raise little net money after avoidance, relocations and economic drag, while slowing growth for everyone.

To conclude, this dumb idea violates core tax principles: tax real cash flows, not paper wealth. It punishes success and signals the Netherlands wants to lead in "soaking the rich" rather than staying competitive. Dismissing critics as victims of the "@elonmusk effect" ignores decades of economic evidence. Most countries wisely abandoned broad wealth taxes for good reason (!!!!).
