Tax advisors & services in the Netherlands

Frequently asked questions about tax advisors in the Netherlands

Whether you are new to the Netherlands or have been here for years, navigating Dutch taxes as an expat can raise many questions. Here are answers to the most common ones.

Do I need a tax advisor in the Netherlands as an expat?

Not always, but it is often worth it. The Dutch tax system can be complicated for internationals, especially in your first year of arrival or departure, if you hold assets abroad, or if you are eligible for the 30% tax ruling. A qualified tax advisor helps you avoid mistakes and often identifies deductions you would have missed on your own.

What is the 30% ruling and can a tax advisor help me apply?

The 30% ruling is a Dutch tax incentive for internationally recruited employees with specific skills. The application process involves your employer, but a tax advisor can verify your eligibility, help gather the right documents and guide you through the steps.

What does a Dutch tax advisor typically charge?

Prices vary depending on the complexity of your situation: a straightforward personal income tax return costs less than a complex situation involving international income, business tax or the 30% ruling.

Can I file my Dutch income tax return in English?

The Dutch Tax Authority (Belastingdienst) provides limited English-language support, but most expats prefer to work with a tax advisor or service that handles everything in English on their behalf. All of the advisors listed in this directory offer services in English.

What is the M form and who needs to file it?

The M form (migration tax form) is a specific Dutch tax return for people who moved to or from the Netherlands during a tax year. It is more involved than the standard annual return and is the most common reason expats seek professional help from a Dutch tax consultant.

Are there tax advisors in the Netherlands who specialise in US expat taxes?

Yes. US citizens living abroad must continue to file US federal tax returns regardless of where they live, which creates a dual filing obligation. Several advisors in this directory specialise in US expat tax, covering FBAR reporting, FATCA obligations and the interaction between Dutch and US tax treaties.

Are there tax advisors in the Netherlands who specialise in Non-EU expat taxes?

Yes. Expats from outside the European Union often face additional complexity, including tax treaties between the Netherlands and their home country, social security agreements and specific rules around foreign income and assets. Several advisors have experience supporting non-EU nationals and can help you understand your obligations both in the Netherlands and at home.
