For me this is the ideal accounting office. Everything is always handled, from ordinary matters to more unusual ones. Highly recommended. 🙂

Tax returns
What do you need to file your tax return in the Netherlands?
Depending on your registration status in the Netherlands, the tax return may be filed on different forms: P-form for people registered in the Netherlands for the whole year, C/T-form for people registered abroad while working or receiving income in the Netherlands, and M-form for people registered in the Netherlands for only part of the year.
Whether someone receives a tax refund or has to pay the Tax Office depends on many factors, including personal circumstances and the deductible costs incurred during the tax year.
Documents required for your tax return:
- 1. Personal details: first name, last name, BSN number, registered address, date of birth and valid ID.
- 2. Spouse or partner details: the same information as above.
- 3. Children’s details, if they were registered with you at the same address for at least six months.
- 4. Jaaropgaven for you and your partner from all jobs and benefits received in the previous year.
- 5. Proof of commuting by public transport, if applicable.
- 6. Information about balances on savings accounts.
- 7. Information about cryptocurrency accounts or other assets such as shares or precious metals.
- 8. If you own a mortgaged property, you will also need:
- • Mortgage jaaropgave
- • WOZ value of the property
- • Voorlopige aanslag, if applicable
- • If you purchased the property last year, please provide the notarial documents from the purchase.
- 9. If you sold a property last year, please provide the notarial documents confirming the sale.
- 10. Medical expenses – if you had healthcare costs that were not covered by insurance, in some cases these may be deductible. Please bring proof.
- 11. Education expenses – if you invested in your own development (for example courses or studies), some costs may also be deductible. Please bring supporting documents.
- 12. If you have your DigiD code, please bring it with you – additional verification may sometimes be required.
Documents required for people not registered in the Netherlands for the full year or registered only for part of the year
- 1. Personal details: first name, last name, BSN number, registered address, date of birth and valid ID.
- 2. Spouse or partner details: the same information as above.
- 3. Children’s details, if they were registered with you at the same address for at least six months.
- 4. Jaaropgaven for you and your partner from all jobs and benefits received in the previous year.
- 5. Information about the period you worked in the Netherlands, including holidays and any days without work.
- 6. Information about whether you worked only in the Netherlands or also in Poland or another country. If more than 90% of your total income was earned in the Netherlands, you will additionally need:
- 7. "Income Statement Certificate" (Zaświadczenie o dochodach) from Poland. This is a special form issued by the Belastingdienst in several languages, including Polish. The form must be completed by the Polish Tax Office after filing your Polish tax return. It is still possible to file a tax return without this certificate, but the settlement will usually be less favourable. If you have questions regarding this point, you can contact us at 0622569407 or 0707854397.
- 8. Public transport commuting – if you travelled to work using public transportation, please provide proof.
- 9. Information about balances on savings accounts.
- 10. Information about cryptocurrency accounts or other assets, such as stocks, precious metals, etc.
- 11. Medical expenses – if you had healthcare costs that were not covered by insurance, in some cases they may be deductible. Please provide proof.
- 12. Education expenses – if you invested in your own development (for example courses or studies), these expenses may also be deductible. Please provide supporting documents.
Health insurance allowance (Zorgtoeslag) can be requested by people who are at least 18 years old, have Dutch health insurance and meet the Dutch Tax Administration conditions for residence, income and savings.. Child benefit, housing allowance and childcare allowance are not considered income, so they do not need to be declared in your tax return. It is, however, always wise to review them together with your annual return to make sure the amount you received was correct. You may also not have claimed benefits you were entitled to, so it is worth checking.
Are you filing a tax return in the Netherlands for the first time? Remember to provide your bank account number.
FISCAL PARTNERSHIP Fiscal partners are people who meet the required legal conditions.
- You are married.
- You are in a registered partnership.
- You are not married but are registered at the same address in the municipal register (GBA/BRP) and have a notarial partnership agreement.
- You are not registered at the same address but meet one of the following conditions:
- 5. Information about the period you worked in the Netherlands, including holidays and any days without work.
- You have a child together.
- One partner has a child that is legally acknowledged by the other partner.
- You are jointly registered for a pension scheme.
- You jointly own a home.
- In previous years you were recognised as fiscal partners.
DEDUCTIONS Certain costs may reduce your taxable income. After meeting the legal conditions, these deductions may lower the tax due.
- Mortgage interest deduction
- Healthcare-related expenses
- Travel expenses for commuting to work
- Darowizny
- Rijksmonumentenpand
- Start-up loan for beginning entrepreneurs
- Alimony paid to an ex-spouse
Your money is commonly transferred to you within 10 days after receiving a letter from the tax office (Belastingdienst).
- If the tax return shows that tax must be paid to the Tax Office, the payment must be made by the date stated on the assessment. Please note that a bank transfer may take several days. The date the money is received by the Tax Office is what counts, not the date the transfer was sent.
- Taxes can be paid in several ways, but cash payments at the Tax Office are not accepted.
- If the tax is not paid on time, additional charges related to late payment may apply.
- In certain cases, it is possible to arrange a payment plan or request a postponement of payment. For this, you must contact the Tax Office directly.
We also handle tax returns in Poland. Such a return is needed when you want to obtain an income certificate. Even if you do not need this certificate in the Netherlands, you are still obliged to file a return in Poland if you remain registered there. You can be released from this obligation with a document from the Netherlands confirming that you file and pay tax here, meaning you are a tax resident in the Netherlands.
We enjoy working for you
