The Netherlands is the only country in the EU that taxes on unrealised gains.
- sabellito 2y agoNot sure if you mean just for stock options, but more countries/regions have some form wealth tax on unrealised gains.
- supermatt 2y agoJust stock, but I forgot that Spain also have stock included in wealth tax for people with over 700k assets. I think it’s just NL and ES though - I dont think any other EU countries tax stocks in this way?
