D was a resident in Germany and was subject to wealth tax in the Netherlands on his Dutch property. His Dutch property represented 10 per cent of his total property. If D had been a Dutch resident then he would have received a personal relief which was only available to non residents if at least 90 per cent of their property was in the Netherlands. Another factor was that there was no wealth tax in Germany so there was no question of D benefiting from an equivalent exemption in his home country and so the only property that was subject to wealth tax was the 10 per cent situate in the Netherlands.
The Court decided that the treatment of a German resident, subject to wealth tax in the Netherlands, was not discriminatory and was not in breach of the free movement of capital.

disagree  L.J.Wessel van Leeuwen: wealth tax = vermogen belasting en net worth tax exemption = netto vermogen vermogenvrijstelling.

  -> It should of course be read (and that is the purpose of the forward slash): wealth tax exemption / net worth tax exemption. Perhaps you'd like to grade my suggested answer on its technical and linguistic merit rather than on your misreading of it.

capital allowance


Explanation:
Any untaxed portion of a capital gain is described as a capital allowance in UK tax law, not an exemption. See HM Revenue & Customs reference below. The position may well be different for a US target text.

agree  Tom Thumb: inheritance tax - prev. known as capital transfer tax - threshold//Hum! The IT threshold was an example only and to set the scene. Using capital allowance in a C.G.T. context would turn the weasel into a WRITING-DOWN allowance for plant & equip. depr.
1 hr
  -> TOm Thumb, nice of you to agree, but we're talking about income tax/capital gains tax here, and not inheritance tax. My main point is that it is an 'allowance' rather than an 'exemption'. Allowances are the part the taxpayer is 'allowed' to keep tax-free.

disagree  xxxjarry: See my comment on Kate's suggested answer.

capital yield tax exemption


Explanation:
To put it in the words of the Belastingdienst:
Calculation of revenue
The average capital is the difference between the value of your assets and the value of the liabilities relating to these assets. Your capital is determined twice a year: on the reference dates 1 January and 31 December. The average capital is the average value of the assets minus the relating liabilities on the two reference dates. This amount is known as the 'capital yield tax base'. The size of your revenue is determined at a notional amount equalling 4% per year of the capital yield tax base. The amount of revenue actually received is irrelevant. The notional yield of 4% of the capital yield tax base is subject to 30% income tax.
