Complaining about their own ignorance. These type of HLN articles in a nutshell.
Inheritance taxes must go up. The pensioners/boomers need to take care of their own costs. Pretty much all wealth is concentrated in their age bracket, anyway.
It ‘s also a great equalizer. The rich will not accumulate all wealth. Something we really need to see to, that doesn’t happen.
Easiest tax you’ll ever pay.
Edit: in this case they need to renounce the inheritance, sell the house with ‘lijfrente’ or hope the taxman postpones the tax until the aunt is no more.
They are allowed to sell the house. Their father didn’t give them a house straight-up. He gave them a house *including* his 2nd wife living there on vruchtgebruik.
They are simply whining because they didn’t get the house straight-up. Because they know if they sell it now then they’ll get a lot less money for it than if it didn’t come with the occupant attached for God knows how long.
The taxes are high because its from their uncle, so not in a straight line. The wife has *vruchtgebruik* which is not that abnormal.
