Insights By This Professional

Tax opportunities can be unlocked by real estate fund managers when improving their investor tax onboarding process.
On Dutch Budget Day 2024 (17 September 2024), several tax measures were proposed as part of the 2025 Budget Day Tax Plans (Belastingplan 2025) which may impact real estate investors investing in or via the Netherlands. Most changes were already pre-announced and/or leaked over the past weeks, so there were no real surprises. The most notable missing measure is the tightening of the real estate transfer tax division exemption, which was expected following a public consultation earlier this year but is not included in the proposals.
Yesterday several tax measures were announced by the Dutch Ministry of Finance as part of the 2025 Budget Day Tax Plans which may impact the private equity industry.
The European real estate market has experienced a sharp correction over the past years, which was fuelled in the Netherlands by (amongst others) tax legislation.
