    Guys,

    What's your experience with the interpretation of "normal asset management" in these two tax systems?

    If one has sufficient assets to "retire" at ~ 40, while occasionally selling securities from one's own portfolio (say 10 trades/year), without any official job/profession, would you avoid income or capital gains tax? (notwithstanding the 1,2% assets tax in Holland & "speculation" tax in Belgium)

    In this scenario, how does any social security contributions fit in?

    Thanks in advance

    Meaning, that it will all be classed as income by then? Can you direct me to anything in writing which indicates this? I've only seen the new, more complex calculation effective from 2017.

    Thanks

    If you're serious about trading and taxation you need to do it all through a trust or LLC, otherwise you'll get killed when you're under your trading high watermark.
