Need help with your Dutch personal income tax return?

• Did you receive an invitation from the Dutch tax authorities to file your Dutch income tax return?
• Did you arrive in the Netherlands sometime during the year?
• Did you leave the Netherlands sometime during the year?
• Do you have a principal residence in the Netherlands?

If any of the above situations apply, we recommend you file a tax return. Legal Roadmap can assist you with the preparation and filing of your Dutch personal income tax.

Highly skilled migrant (expat)

If you are working or living as a highly skilled migrant (expat), you are liable to pay Dutch tax. It is certainly worthwhile to check the tax refund possibilities because highly skilled migrants often have tax refund opportunities. Even if you have not received an invitation to submit a tax return, it is important to have your tax situation checked by Legal Roadmap to ensure you don’t miss any refund opportunities while filing your tax return.

The regular tax form is a P-form. If you live in the Netherlands or have income from the Netherlands, you must pay taxes on your income, financial interests in a company, and your savings and investments. To pay or receive taxes, you must file a tax return every year.

In cases of immigration or emigration, an M-form must be filed.

Dutch Tax Benefits:

The Dutch tax system has several benefits. For example, if you own a house, the interest on your mortgage is deductible in your tax return, meaning you don’t have to pay taxes on this amount and you will receive a tax refund. Other Dutch tax return deductions might include:

• Charitable giving
• Non-compensated health costs
• Costs incurred when purchasing a home

Due to the complexity of the Dutch tax system and its rules, it is highly advisable to let Legal Roadmap check your taxes and file your tax returns.
