Top Capital Gains Tax Rates in Europe

  1. We shouldn’t have them in Belgium… The government already spends 53% of GDP, and adding another tax wouldn’t lead to lower taxation on labour, just higher government spending…

  2. In Romania is flat 10%. Even so a lot of people actually ignore to pay it as the process is somehow complicated.

    Also the agency who should collect it is in stone age, failing to help people filling the forms and failing to create a simple process so that people could pay it.

    Also most of the people refuse to pay it because is anyhow stolen by politicians friends companies.

    Dividend tax is 5%!

  3. Interesting but ultimately not very useful since every country has its own unique way of calculating capital gains.

  4. Capital gains taxed lower than wages is something nobody will ever be able to justify to me and I still believe they are seriously defending it.

  5. As a middle-class earner in Germany who’s trying to invest some of his savings these taxes make me depressed. I’m not rich and still I have to give back a fourth of my pretty humble gains.
