Your days abroad, in your Dutch return

Yes. It is one of the situations we handle most here. A tax treaty decides which country may tax the part of your salary you earned abroad. You claim relief for double taxation in your Dutch return. Separate rules apply to work on board ships and to offshore work. We work out which of them fit your contract and your days. Then we file your return.

You file as a non-resident taxpayer. You may also qualify for more than that. The extra route is open if you live in the EU, the EEA, Switzerland or the BES islands. You also need nearly all of your income to be Dutch. Then you can count as a qualifying non-resident taxpayer, a kwalificerende buitenlandse belastingplichtige. That opens the same deductions and tax credits a resident gets. You need an income statement from your own country's tax authority, certified there. We check whether you qualify and prepare that statement with you.

By phone or on Teams, at a time that fits your rotation. Your advisor works for clients across the Netherlands, Rotterdam included. Our office is TaxSavers, Amsterdamseweg 71A, 1182GP Amstelveen.

Your first Dutch return for a move year is the M-form. It covers the part of the year you lived here and the part you did not. A posting to a Rotterdam employer often runs alongside a foreign payroll, a housing allowance or a 30% ruling decision. All of that lands in the same return. We prepare that return and file it for you. The same M-form applies in the year you leave the Netherlands.
