Does Foreign Real Estate Impact Your Box 3 Tax Assessment?

aug 19, 2025

The Dutch Supreme Court recently ruled that, under certain circumstances, the return on foreign real estate is not included when calculating your actual return for Box 3 tax purposes, based on the June 2024 rulings.

 However, under the Box 3 Counter-Evidence Regulation Act (adopted 8 July 2024), the total actual return must be lower than the notional return – and in that calculation, foreign real estate is expected to be included.

 More court decisions are likely before the rules become fully clear.

 If your actual return is lower than the notional return, we can assess whether you qualify for a Box 3 tax reduction – including situations involving foreign property.
