I have several Dutch friends that already left and some will leave in 2027.

New taxes in Netherlands for investments in stocks, bitcoin, houses are coming in 2027.
Some friends will have to pay so much taxes over that, that it is more interesting to quit their job and leave.
Else you could have a job that makes maybe 70K (after taxes) and could end up paying tens of thousands over your investments.
The proposal now is that you pay 30 - 35% tax of the Unrealized capital gains of btc, houses, stocks, in 2027 (it still can change, depending on elections in october).
That means they would have worked for nothing if BTC/ house price/ stocks go up like now.

In Holland last 2 years many investors that rent out some houses are selling their houses. Cause now you already start paying more and more tax over it and with maximum rental prices some make even a loss. Not able to kick the renters out cause of rental protection.

Many Dutch buy now houses in Spain to rent out (no capital gain tax over that).
But Spain now might say only Spanish residents can buy houses.

It is a good time to leave the EU if you have capital. Or look what EU country has less taxes with cheap cost of living.
Just a matter of time and EU will come with an exit tax.

You could also take a laptop and first travel around to see what country you like most.
And than set up your company in a tax friendly country while you can travel around and live in another country.
You can stay in most countries without paying tax there, if you stay less than 180 days.

I have a friend from Dubai, but he spends most of his time in Thailand.
He likes to party, smoke weed and have a drink. In Dubai that could get him in trouble.
