On 13 October, NautaDutilh published an article saying that the Dutch government has drawn up a joint ‘Plan of action Anti-Money Laundering’ including various measures to increase the barriers to money laundering. One of the proposed measures is to limit large cash payments – there is currently no maximum for cash payments in the Netherlands. Now a draft law includes a total ban on cash payments of €3,000 or more for traders, and that ban cannot be circumvented by means of several individual cash payments. It is said that, given that the Council of Ministers approved the bill on 25 September and will forward it to the Council of State, it still seems feasible for the ban to enter into force by 2021.
