The Dutch House of Representatives has backed a proposal to tax gains on assets held in box 3, with support from coalition parties and JA21, SGP and BBB. The vote suggests the bill may also win a majority in the Senate, although the upper chamber has yet to decide.

The proposal concerns taxation of gains from assets such as shares. An earlier account said the plan would shift box 3 taxation away from unrealised increases in value and towards gains. At that stage, support in the Senate remained uncertain; the latest vote points to a possible change in that outlook. Dutch box 3 tax plan nears House majority, but Senate support is uncertain
