Fast charge capability fairer – Financieele Dagblad (Registration)

Power is taxed from 2016 ‘fairer’. Minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem (Finance) this weekend announced that he comes up with an alternative to the current Budget Day for capital gains. Apparently he coalition parties PvdA and VVD, which were still in this area last year diametrically opposed, later managed to bring together.

That’s a good thing: the current system of a fixed rate of 1.2% is no longer adequate. The Tax now assumes that there is an average of 4% earned on assets, while that does not work with the current savings rate of 1 to 1.5% overall. Savers pay the tax so for a long time more than they receive in interest. That way of tax, introduced in 2001 because he was so easy, it turns rigid and unfair.

The government should therefore come to a tax that savers no more late payments they make to capital gains. There seem to be two viable options for such a new tax. The first is a tax on realized capital gains. The second is the fictitious return of 4% is replaced by a notional return that moves with the rate on ten-year Treasuries.

But according to the Central Planning can the Treasury to € 1.4 billion going to cost – money that Dijsselbloem rather commitment to lower taxes on labor

So the only” real “capital gains tax. Which is less straightforward because the tax relevant data needs of returns on financial stocks, houses and art. Also, the revenues to the treasury mobile. But apparently they there in other Western European countries and the US handle it well. Since that tax is not used for nothing for years satisfactorily. Advantage is also the countercyclical nature of the citizen: loss he pays nothing to gain what he should pay. Justifier can not.
