The Netherlands has long been one of the most attractive destinations for US expats in Europe. But recent and proposed tax changes could significantly impact how Americans living there build and protect wealth.

In this episode of Passport To Wealth™, Arielle Tucker, CFP®, EA is joined by Kaitlin Krozel, CPA, founder of Krozel Capital, a firm specializing in tax and financial planning for US expats and globally mobile families.

Together they unpack the Dutch tax system, including the controversial Box 3 wealth tax and proposed reforms that could tax unrealized investment gains. Kaitlin explains how the Netherlands’ approach differs from the US tax system and why Americans may face unexpected tax consequences on brokerage accounts, Roth IRAs, and even college savings plans.

They also discuss the famous 30% ruling, recent policy changes affecting expats, and why pre-immigration tax planning has become more important than ever.
