Invoering van een bankenbelasting (Wet bankenbelasting)

This Dutch bill, known as the Wet bankenbelasting (Bank Tax Act), would introduce a special tax on banks operating in the Netherlands. The procedure is a national legislative proposal handled by the Tweede Kamer, the lower house of the Dutch parliament. Based on the title alone, the aim is to raise revenue from the financial sector, a common policy approach in Europe after the 2008 financial crisis. The tax would primarily affect banks and financial institutions established in the Netherlands, along with their shareholders and customers indirectly. The exact scope, rates and thresholds are not visible from the metadata and would need to be checked in the full text of the bill.
