How does rich Dutch people protect their wealth?

[Mr Gus]

Can you explain this?

You don't have to pay tax on assets besides real estate located in the Netherlands and substantial interest in a Dutch company.

There will be starting from 2026.

From 2026 the current wealth tax will be replaced by a capital gains tax + unrealized capital gains tax.

Is that confirmed? So there will be two new taxes replacing the current 'low ish' wealth tax?

Well it is planned.. But unsure if technically possible to implement for the tax authorities.

Thanks in theory one of the 'recommendations' is to keep part of the wealth in crypto on your own cold storage out of the radar of NL tax authorities... the only challange is to off-ramp it into fiat in the future... I am pretty sure if 1m euro would appear from nowhere on ABN AMRO that would be a red flag for the bank and NL tax authorities and raised some questions.....
