This means that you do not (yet) need to give reasons for your objections. It therefore does not involve much effort (or cost).<\/p>\n<p>The Supreme Court has now ruled that the system of taxation under Box 3 is contrary to European law. However, for the time being, it is left to the legislature to rectify this. So far, the legislature has made no more than a few minor adjustments. It therefore seems we will have to wait until the courts actually intervene.<\/p>\n<h4>Expert advice: compensation<\/h4>\n<p>A committee of experts recently submitted a report to State Secretary Vijlbrief of the Ministry of Finance <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rijksoverheid.nl\/documenten\/kamerstukken\/2020\/04\/24\/bijlage-1-advies-deskundigen-over-vermogensrendementsheffing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">advisory report<\/a> published on what the consequences should be of the aforementioned Supreme Court judgement.
