Income from equity is taxed based on deemed returns on equity.
In brief, equity can be summarized as (worldwide held) assets minus (worldwide held) debts.
The point of departure is the value of the equity on 1 January 2024.
Based upon this value, the deemed taxable income (benefit from savings and investments) is calculated.
The effective tax burden depends on the size and composition of the assets.
(Box 3 is no longer calculated using fixed bandwidths as in earlier years.)
