Netherlands considers taxing unrealized crypto and stock gains

The Netherlands may begin taxing unrealized gains on stocks and cryptocurrencies starting in 2028, local media outlet NL Times reported. Members of the Dutch House of Representatives (Tweede Kamer) are actively discussing a tax reform bill that would include both realized and unrealized profits from investment assets as taxable income, with a majority expected to approve the measure. If the bill is enacted, investors in stocks, bonds, and cryptocurrencies would be required to pay taxes annually on their assets' appreciation in value, even if they have not sold them.
