Back to Crypto assets and origin

Box 3 and crypto

Box 3 and crypto concerns the place of digital assets within the Dutch wealth tax: crypto counts as a holding that represents a value on a reference date. The term describes the connection between holdings, valuation and traceability. How a specific situation works out exactly depends on the data and the applicable rules.

What it may indicate

Assets whose value or origin is hard to establish can raise questions when valued on a reference date. That need not mean anything; sometimes it is simply a matter of documentation. A traceable build up usually makes it easier to give a substantiated picture.

Someone wants to substantiate their crypto holdings on the reference date. By mapping the balance per wallet and the transaction history, a traceable overview of value and build up emerges. That overview supports a substantiation, but the tax assessment itself lies outside this term.
