As we all know, there has been a lot of recent movement on box 3 taxation. Box 3 primarily taxes savings, investments and real estate. The assets in this box were previously taxed on the basis of a flat rate of return: the tax authorities set an assumed percentage, regardless of the actual return. This meant that many taxpayers paid taxes on a return they had not actually received. You may also have overpaid taxes in the past. If so, chances are you may be eligible for legal redress!

With its entry into force, it has been said that the largest legislative operation has been completed since the introduction of the Dutch Constitution law in 1848.

With a legislative operation of such magnitude, of course (principle) choices are made that bring about a change from the previously applicable law. So too in the context of the Environment Act.

In a recent court case concerning turboliquidation of a catering business, the court ruled that the directors were not personally liable. The case involved the discontinuation of the business without assets, with creditors being paid pro rata. The landlord claimed unlawfulness, but the court held that the turboliquidation had been carried out correctly with no obligation of bankruptcy.
Directors of troubled companies are usually aware that acts performed in the face of bankruptcy (if it comes to that) will be examined by a receiver. Unobligatory legal acts that have harmed creditors may be reversed by the trustee.
