The 60-second version
Dutch brokerage wind-down needs DEGIRO NL / Binck liquidation, Box 3 reporting in departure year, broker closure letter, and EUR remittance to NRE with tax certificates for Form 67.
Box 3 applies to Dutch holdings in departure year
Netherlands taxes wealth in Box 3 and certain capital income — selling after becoming India tax resident still triggers Dutch reporting on NL assets in departure year.
DEGIRO NL / Binck / Saxo NL closes after zero balance and non-resident tax status update.
Retain jaaropgave and broker annual statement for Form 67 and Schedule FA.
