NETHERLANDS: Dutch proposal aims to boost crypto tax compliance

The legislation would require crypto service providers to collect and share user data with the Dutch tax authority, in line with the EU’s reporting requirements to combat tax evasion.

The Dutch government has invited public input on a new law proposal aimed at increasing transparency around cryptocurrency ownership. The legislation would require crypto service providers to collect and share user data with the local tax authority, aligning with the European Union’s reporting requirements to reduce tax evasion. According to the Netherlands’ Ministry of Finance, the law will not change current tax obligations for Dutch crypto owners, who are already required to declare their assets.

Under these new rules, the Dutch tax authority would share collected data on EU residents with other member states, as per the EU’s DAC8 crypto tax reporting framework. Additionally, non-EU countries that adhere to the OECD’s Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework, such as the United States and the United Kingdom, would receive relevant data through international cooperation agreements.
