There are few people who enjoy doing their taxes. It can get stressful, especially if you are an expat and you have to file your income tax in more than one country. Luckily, Blue Umbrella is here to help!

Do you work in the Netherlands?

If you work in the Netherlands, it is possible that you will need to pay taxes on your income. Your employer or benefits agency can withhold wage tax and national insurance contributions.

File your income tax return stress-free and in plain English online with Blue Umbrella!

You are required to file your taxes if you receive an invitation letter from the Belastingdienst (Dutch tax office). However, it is always a good idea to do your income tax filing, even if you have not received this letter, because by filing your taxes you are making sure that you are tax compliant.

Are you self-employed or a small-business owner?

If you are, sign up for Blue Umbrella’s small business account. With this account, you get unlimited access to Blue Umbrella’s tax advisers, who can help you file your VAT and ICP, corporate tax, income tax and payroll tax. And to make sure you are able to focus on your core business 100%, Blue Umbrella will provide you with the necessary financial tools to keep your business running smoothly.

Do you have the American nationality?

If yes, it is possible that you will need to pay taxes in America, regardless of which country you live or work in. This makes filing your taxes more challenging because every country has its own rules regarding tax matters.

Access and submit your tax information online, 24/7

Luckily, Blue Umbrella has started a service where you can file your Dutch and American income tax returns easy and fast. You will be able to save a lot of time, because Blue Umbrella makes it possible for you to access and submit your tax information online, 24/7.

Moreover, the service can also save you money, as Blue Umbrella files your income tax return(s) for a fixed affordable fee of 250 euros (incl. VAT), there are no hidden costs.

Do you use childcare?

Blue Umbrella can help you lower your childcare costs up to 80 percent, if you sign up for a Blue Childcare account. This service was designed to help you finance your childcare costs and benefit optimally from the available Dutch childcare subsidies. 

Tax mail service

Do you receive letters from the Belastingdienst in Dutch, but you don’t speak the language? Blue Umbrella offers a handy tax mail service. Subscribe to this service to have these Dutch tax letters explained to you, so you avoid missing important deadlines and having to pay expensive tax penalties.

Note, if you have a small business or childcare account, this service is included.

The 30% ruling

Do you want to know if you are eligible for the 30% tax ruling? Blue Umbrella can help you with all of your questions concerning the 30% ruling.
