Unbelievable.

[EvilCapitalist]

That should go over like a fart in Church.

[bigdaddy45]

Well this will be fun to watch.

[brooklin]

That is bogus.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

So when you have an unrealized loss the government sends you a check for 36% of the unrealized loss, right?

Hello?

[Flaming Conservative]

The Dutch already pay 50%+ in taxes for income over, I think, $100,000.

[eyedigress]

Well, that will stop investments. Is that their goal?

[quantim]

Great, now the dems will scream from the rooftops “we have to do this now!”

[JZelle]

One way or another, we slaves.

[MileHi]

This sounds stupid

[AndyJackson]

This will force the sale of 36% of all imputed capital gains in order to pay. No capital market can withstand a 36% outflow of value without crashing the market. The liquidity does not exist.

[GreatRoad]

Thats quite a confiscation. Echos of Mao.

[GreatRoad]

I suppose they’ll be looking for non-Dutch proxy stock holders.

[FLT-bird]

Suicidally stupid. Norway just saw this and saw tax revenues DECLINE as people took so much money out of the country to avoid the tax that the government got less.

The same thing happened in Argentina. The same thing happens every time this idiocy is tried.

[sopo]

If they’re like our Congress , they’ve exempted themselves.

[HYPOCRACY]

The tulip market will crash.

[aimhigh]

If December 31 is the critical date to determine the unrealized gain, then they can expect a huge crash, as everyone sells their shares.

[Bob Wills is still the king]

If we ever really get serious about the national debt, this would be an attractive way to address it.

[No.6]

As a meme elsewhere read, that’s almost like as if some tax assessor put a theoretical value on your house you aren’t selling ...

and then local government sent you a tax bill based on this assessment which if unpaid allows them to take your whole hme away.

Hm.

[Jonny7797]

This is outrageous.

[Organic Panic]

How about unrealized losses?
