Dutch finance minister says bill to tax unrealized crypto gains is flawed

Dutch Finance Minister Eelco Heinen plans to amend a recently passed bill that would tax unrealized gains on assets including cryptocurrency, calling the legislation "poorly designed." According to DL News, Heinen stated in an interview that the bill "cannot pass" and "must be amended." The proposed law, which was approved by the country's lower house of parliament earlier this month, would impose a 36% capital gains tax on all profits from savings accounts, crypto, most stock investments, and interest-bearing financial products, even if the assets have not been sold.
