Taxes covered

Five brackets from 16% to 50% (above EUR 82,346 in 2026) on active income; passive income sits outside at flat rates.
- Dividend tax25%
Flat, final 25% withholding on dividends — or 15% (falling to 0% after 15 years) inside the new Individual Investment Account.
- Capital gains tax25% → 0%
25% falling to 20% after 5 years, 15% after 10 and zero after 15; your home is exempt after 3 years' residence.
- Crypto tax0% (no dedicated tax)
The planned 25% crypto-disposal tax was never enacted — the bill lapsed in parliament — so occasional private disposals remain untaxed; business-scale activity is taxable under general rules.
- Social security23.1%
Employees pay 22.1% classic contributions plus the new 1% long-term care charge, uncapped — with a flat EUR 37.17 monthly health supplement on top.
- Inheritance tax0% – 39%
Spouses and all direct descendants pay nothing; parents and siblings 5–14%; unrelated heirs up to 39% — each on progressive scales.
- Withholding tax25%
A single 25% final withholding covers dividends, interest, royalties and rents paid to non-residents — treaties cut it, and listed corporate bonds escape it.

Under-40s moving in for a job paying twice the average salary deduct an extra 7% of their pay.

Spouses and all direct descendants inherit and receive gifts completely tax-free.
