Dutch Finance Minister Eelco Heinen stated that plans are underway to amend the controversial bill regarding the taxation of unrealized gains on cryptocurrency assets that was previously passed. The bill was approved by the Dutch House of Representatives on February 12, requiring investors to pay 36% tax on the paper gains of their cryptocurrency assets, even if they have not sold them.In an interview with RTL Nieuws, Heinen said, "This law should not be passed as it stands; there are clearly issues that need to be revised." The bill still needs to be submitted to the Dutch Senate for review and is set to take effect no earlier than January 1, 2028. The Ministry of Finance stated that it will reassess the content of the bill and engage in discussions with Parliament to determine whether a complete rewrite or partial amendments are necessary.

According to Cointelegraph, the Dutch House of Representatives passed a legislative proposal on February 13, aiming to impose a 36% capital gains tax on savings and most liquid investments, including cryptocurrencies. The proposal was approved with 93 votes, surpassing the 75-vote threshold required for passage.Under the proposal, earnings from savings accounts, cryptocurrencies, most equity investments, and interest-bearing financial instruments will be taxable, regardless of whether the assets are sold. Certain assets, such as startup equity and non-investment physical assets, may be exempt. The proposal must be approved by the Dutch Senate before it can take effect, and if passed, it will be officially implemented in the 2028 tax year. Opponents argue that the bill will encourage capital to flow to jurisdictions with more favorable tax policies.Investor calculations show that an investor who contributes 1,000 euros per month for 40 years will see their final earnings drop from 3.32 million euros to 1.885 million euros under a 36% tax rate, resulting in a difference of 1.435 million euros.

According to NL Times, the Dutch House of Representatives recently debated plans to amend the third category (Box 3) tax system.The proposal plans to tax capital gains (including realized and unrealized gains) on assets such as stocks, bonds, and cryptocurrencies annually starting in 2028. Although most lawmakers believe the proposal still has flaws and that taxing unrealized gains is not ideal, it is expected to gain majority support due to the estimated loss of about 2.3 billion euros to the treasury each year if implementation is delayed.
