After the end of the calendar year, a notional income will be attributed to each category. The corresponding yields have currently not yet been disclosed. Real estate properties located in the Netherlands, and any liabilities associated therewith, will be taxed at a different rate of return from 1 January 2023 onwards.
The tax rate for earnings from savings, other asset values and liabilities will be increased by 1% to 32% in 2023. This tax rate will increase by 1% per year until it reaches a total of 34% in 2025. It was also announced that tax-free assets will be increased to EUR 57,000 from 1 January 2023 onwards. The previous limit was EUR 50,650.
