A (Christmas) ruling with major consequences for the box 3 levy
7 February 2022 - On 24 December 2021, the Supreme Court ruled that the capital gains tax in box 3 violates the right to property and the prohibition on discrimination as laid down in the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR). In the present case, the Supreme Court has offered legal protection to taxpayers against the violation of fundamental rights by only including the taxpayer's actually achieved return in the taxation. What consequences does the judgment have for you?
