Box 3. Income from assets, savings and investments
The box 3 tax rate is assessed against a hypothetical yield. You are not taxed for capital gains or actual rental income. Instead, the Dutch tax office assumes that you enjoy a yield of up to 5.69% over your total asset value, irrespective if any actual gains are higher or lower(!). This fictitious yield then is taxed against a rate of 31% (2022), irrespective of the actual yield obtained on your assets. Expats who have the 30% ruling can opt to be exempted from Dutch taxation in box 3.
