You will already have found out that taxes are a very good way for the Dutch government to get your hard earned money. Almost every income you make is taxed. Whether you earn money, spend money, win money or even give your money away, the tax office is sitting in the front seat to get its share of the amount. The rules are changed frequently. Under tax news we will discuss new changes.

Fortunately tax rates have been reduced in the last years, although a lot of tax deductions had to be cancelled to make sure the government wouldn't lose any money. But there still exist certain tax benefits like the 30% ruling and the deduction of interest you pay on a mortgage.

When you arrive in or leave the Netherlands during the tax year, which is the normal calendar year, you will have to file an M form. The M stands for Migration. After that you will receive the same tax return Dutch residents receive, the P form. The P stands for Private individual ('Particulier' in Dutch). The tax office will send you a tax return when they believe you owe them money or when based on previous years they know you will get a refund. Also when you requested a preliminary refund or have a company car you will have to file a tax return at the end of the year. When you know you owe the tax office money you will have to request a tax form yourself when you didn't receive one before August 1st. When you don't owe them any money and you don't have any tax deductions there is no obligation to file a tax return. In that case all tax you pay is the wage tax calculated in your salaryslip.
