Final tax assessment box 3 in phases

Uneven allocation of box 3 for tax partners
Do you have a fiscal partner, and it turns out that the old division is more favorable for both of you? In some cases, you may be able to take advantage of the new box 3 scheme in the event of uneven allocation. One of you will remain taxed according to the old box 3, while the other will use the new flat-rate savings option. Whether this is beneficial mainly depends on the asset mix.
If most of your assets are in stocks, the old way is likely to be advantageous. Is there a large part in savings? Then you will most likely use the savings variant. But are your assets mixed? Then you can look at an uneven allocation. Need help with the calculation? We are happy to help you!
