Corporate income tax:

  • Proposals to amend funds for joint accounts (“Fondsen voor Gemene Rekening”/FGR), tax-exempt investment institutions (“Vrijgestelde Beleggingsinstellingen”/VBI) and Fiscal investment institutions (“Fiscale Beleggingsinstelling”/FBI).
  • The Energy Investment Allowance (EIA), Environmental Investment Allowance (MIA), and Random Depreciation of Environmental Investments Scheme (VAMIL) will be extended until December 31, 2028.

Personal income tax:

  • A dual tax rate for substantial shareholders (5% or more) will be introduced as of 1 January 2024. Dividend income and realised capital gains are taxed at 24.5% for the first € 67,000 (€ 134,000 for tax partners) and 31% on the excess. For 2023 a current flat rate of 26.9% applies.
  • Personal income in Box 3 (such as savings and investment income) is currently taxed at a flat rate of 32%. This rate will be increased by 2% as of 2024 resulting in a rate of 34%. The tax-free threshold per taxpayer will not be increased in 2024 and will remain at €57,000.

Other measures:

  • The so-called 30%-ruling for expats in respect of wage taxes will be capped as of January 1, 2024.
  • For real property share transactions, the value of new real property is currently exempt from VAT and RETT. The Tax Plan 2024 includes an amendment to the RETT exemption.
