Income tax return
From the 1st of March to the 1st of May, you can submit your income tax return to the Dutch tax authorities. In some years, the income tax return could be more complex. Think of buying a house, migrating to the Netherlands, or changing your tax partnership. But also if you have many assets abroad, a tax advisor can come in handy. We provide a complete and correct tax return and ensure that we include all tax deductions so that you never pay too much or too little tax!
Migration tax return (M-form)
If you moved to the Netherlands and paid taxes in your country of origin, you are required to file a migration tax return (also called the M-form) if you are going to work here. You are obliged to arrange that according to the Dutch tax regulations. The Dutch tax authorities (De Belastingdienst) need information about you and with the M-form you can provide that to them. Most expats will receive a tax refund because they didn’t live in the Netherlands for the full year and therefore paid too much income tax.
When to file an income tax return?
If you receive a tax return letter from the Dutch tax authorities (Belastingdienst), you must file an income tax return. You will usually receive this letter in January or February. You can find the deadline in this letter. In most cases, the Dutch income tax return is due by the 1st of May following the fiscal year. However, sometimes, you have another deadline (e.g. for the M-form). Do you want to file the tax return after the deadline? Then you must apply for a postponement before 1 May.
If you have not received such an invitation to file your taxes, you sometimes still have to do so. This is the case when you know you have to submit income components the Dutch tax authorities don’t know about. Such as income from other activities or a foreign bank account. In addition, it is sometimes worthwhile to report voluntarily. For example, if you can state deductible items (the Dutch tax authorities do not yet have this information about you). Therefore, it is also wise to check the pre-filled information when filing your income tax return.

Buying a house in the Netherlands
Did you buy a house in the Netherlands? Congratulations! This also affects your income tax return. The Dutch tax authorities add a fictitious profit based on the value of your house on your income: the notional rental value (eigenwoningforfait). But you can also deduct extra expenses from your income, like the mortgage interest and ground lease. In addition, you may deduct the financing costs in the year that you bought the house (e.g. mortgage advisor and valuation). Also, re-mortgaging or switching to another mortgage provider has consequences for your income tax return. In this case, it may be wise to engage a tax advisor.
Provisional tax return
Have you paid a lot of mortgage interest, made healthcare costs or other deductible expenses, and do you want to receive the tax refund in advance? Then it is useful to request a provisional assessment. But also if you know that you have to pay an amount to the tax authorities, a provisional tax return ensures that you can pay this amount in advance spread over the remaining months of the year. This prevents you from paying the amount in one go next year. We help you with applying for a provisional assessment and take this completely off your hands.
30% ruling
Do you come to the Netherlands especially for work? If you meet all the conditions, you may apply for the 30% ruling to compensate for the so-called extraterritorial costs. This arrangement also affects your income tax. Your Dutch employer may reimburse 30% of your wages tax-free. Moreover, you do not have to state your savings and investments when filing the income tax return (except when it comes to Dutch real estate).
