Relocating to the Netherlands can be an exciting yet overwhelming experience, especially when it comes to navigating the country’s tax regulations. Luckily, the 30% ruling is here to make your transition smoother and financially advantageous. This tax break, specifically designed for international professionals, can significantly reduce your tax burden, leaving you with more income to enjoy your time in the Netherlands.
At FinTaxNL Solutions B.V., we understand that tax matters can be complex, especially in a new country. That’s why we’re here to guide you through every step of the 30% ruling application process and help you make the most of this benefit.
What is the 30% Ruling?
The 30% ruling allows eligible foreign employees in the Netherlands to receive up to 30% of their gross salary tax-free, reducing their taxable income. This tax break is designed to offset the additional costs of living and working in the Netherlands, such as housing, travel, and relocation expenses.
For example, if your annual gross salary is €100,000, with the 30% ruling, only €70,000 would be subject to income tax. The remaining €30,000 is yours tax-free.
Am I Eligible for the 30% Ruling?
Eligibility for the 30% ruling depends on a few key factors:
1. You Work in the Netherlands
You must be employed by a Dutch company or a foreign entity registered as a Dutch taxpayer.
2. You Bring Specialized Skills
Your expertise must be scarce in the Dutch labor market. This is often determined by salary thresholds. For 2024, the minimum taxable salary is €41,954, or €31,891 if you’re under 30 with a master’s degree.
3. You Lived Far from the Netherlands
You must have lived more than 150 kilometers from the Dutch border for at least 16 of the 24 months before starting your Dutch employment.
4. Timely Application
Applications must be submitted to the Dutch Tax Authority within four months of starting employment.
Not sure if you qualify? Don’t worry—our team at FinTaxNL Solutions B.V. can review your situation and guide you through the eligibility requirements.
Why the 30% Ruling Matters
The 30% ruling is more than just a tax break—it’s a key benefit for expats looking to make the most of their time in the Netherlands. Here’s how it helps:
• More Income: Save significantly on taxes, leaving you with more take-home pay.
• Tax-Free Perks: Tuition fees for international schools may also qualify for tax-free reimbursement.
• Simplified Driving License Exchange: The ruling allows you to exchange your foreign driving license for a Dutch one without additional tests.
• Foreign Income Exemptions: You can opt for non-resident tax status, meaning income and assets outside the Netherlands may not be taxed.
