Orientation
What our tax services cover
At TaxSavers, tax services in the Netherlands fall into four groups. We file returns and we advise on decisions. We handle the tax side of running a business. And we take care of gift and inheritance tax returns and childcare allowance.
This page is organised by what you need done, not by the type of tax. There are four routes below. Each route leads to the page that does the work. Each one also says what it does not cover.
Two topics are deliberately covered elsewhere. The rules themselves are explained on the Dutch tax system. That page explains the boxes, the rates and fiscal partnership. It does not file returns. For a company's needs beyond tax, see business services.
Tax is one of four services on this site. Advice on mortgage, insurance and pension comes from our associated company. It is a separate licensed advice firm. Would you rather start from a life event than from a service? Then start at your situation.
Filing
Get your return filed
Most people arrive here because something is due. The pages below start with working out which form is yours. They also cover the provisional assessment that pays a refund monthly.
Weighing a decision rather than meeting a deadline? Start at advice on your situation. Filing for a company or as a self-employed person? Go to running a business here.
Do you have income or assets in another country as well? Start with the filing help page below.
Your annual return, done for you
An advisor prepares your yearly income tax return. You see a draft before we file it.
M-form: the year you moved
The year you move to or from the Netherlands needs its own return, the M-form. This page explains what it asks for and how we handle it with you.
Provisional assessment
A refund can reach you monthly instead of once a year. This page covers setting that up and updating it when you need to.
Worldwide income return
The opgaaf wereldinkomen, which the Belastingdienst asks for separately when your household income crosses a border.
Services and prices
What each service includes and what it costs, in one overview, so you know before you book.

Advice
Get advice on your situation
Advice is what you book before a decision, not after a deadline. The pages below cover advice on a single question and on cross-border situations. They also cover the Box 3 side of savings.
If a return is what you actually need, go back to getting your return filed. Advice for a company or for the self-employed belongs in running a business here. You can see what advice costs on the services and prices card under filing.
Tax advice for a decision
Moving, selling, taking equity or splitting a household. One conversation before the choice is cheaper than a repair after it.
An advisor for cross-border tax
Income, assets or a pension across a border? This page sets out our advice and what it costs. It also links our city pages, from Amsterdam to Eindhoven.
Box 3 and your savings
Savings, investments and a second property fall under Box 3. This page covers what that means for you and what you can still influence.
Business
Running a business here
A business changes which returns you file and which decisions are worth taking early.
The pages below cover the business itself and your role as an employer.
Filing your personal return rather than your company's? Go to getting your return filed. For personal advice, see advice on your situation. Are you the employee rather than the employer? Then the 30% ruling explains your side. Your own return is still part of the filing route. Insurance, pension and other business needs are covered on business services. That is the landing page of the business section, not a second tax hub.
Business tax advice
How your company is set up decides what you pay for years. This page is the conversation about that structure.
Freelance and zzp returns
Income tax for the self-employed. One return covers both you and your business.
VAT returns
Your quarterly VAT (btw) return, prepared from your own bookkeeping and filed on time.
The 30% ruling for employers
The employer side of the ruling: who qualifies, what you apply for and what the application asks of you.
Hiring a skilled migrant
Hiring someone from abroad has tax consequences that start before their first working day. This page explains them.
Life events
Handle a gift, an estate or an allowance
Some returns exist only because something happened in the family. A gift, an inheritance or a child in daycare each brings its own form and its own deadline. The pages below include a checklist for everything an inheritance tax return needs.
The rules behind these taxes are explained on the Dutch tax system. That includes who is exempt and from when. This route is about filing the form on time.
Gift tax return
A gift above the tax-free amount means a gift tax return is due. This page covers who files it and by when.
Inheritance tax return
An estate usually has a return to file, often at the hardest possible moment. We take that part off your hands.
Inheritance filing checklist
Everything to gather for an inheritance tax return, in the order you will need it.
Childcare allowance
Applying for kinderopvangtoeslag and keeping the estimate behind it true, so the year does not end in a repayment.

“Most people who call me already know something needs doing. They just cannot tell whether it needs filing, a decision or nothing at all. That is a short conversation, and it saves a long one later.”

Frequently asked
Questions about where to start
The questions we hear before anyone picks a page. Yours not here? Ask Menno
Do I need advice, or do I just need my return filed?
Advice is for a decision you have not made yet. A return reports one you already made. If a deadline brought you here, start with filing. If you are weighing a move, a sale or a share scheme, start with advice. Plenty of people do both in the same year, and the same advisor handles them.
I run a business. Is this page for me too?
Yes. One of the four routes exists for exactly that. Running a business here covers advice, the self-employed return and VAT. It also covers the employer topics. In the full list higher up, set the filter to Business to see them together. For everything else a company needs, see business services.
Where do I find the rules rather than the service?
On the Dutch tax system pages. They explain how the boxes work and what counts as income. They also explain who is a fiscal partner. This page is the service side. It says what we do and which page does it. Those pages explain several of the topics listed above. We handle those topics here, so the two sides link in both directions.
Can one advisor handle tax, mortgage, insurance and pension together?
Tax, yes. For mortgage, insurance and pension you get our associated company. Your tax advisor introduces you and looks after the tax side. So a tax decision that touches your mortgage or your pension gets one look. Not four looks from four firms.
My situation is on none of these pages. Now what?
Book the call and describe it. 20 minutes is usually enough to work out whether you need a form, a decision or a different service altogether. If it turns out we are not the right people, we will say so. You're not committing to anything.
