The Dutch banking industry attacked government plans to impose a €300m annual tax on Dutch banks, arguing that any such levy should be introduced across the European Union rather than by individual countries. The Dutch government said on the 1 July 2011 that it would introduce the banking tax, on either 1 January 2012 or 1 July 2012. The move is meant to compensate for the planned lowering of the Dutch tax on house purchases, from 6% to 2%, in order to free up the Netherlands’ frozen housing market. |
