Key Facts Over Dutch Tax

Nederland gebruikt een drie-box inkomstenbelastingsysteem (Box 1: werk, Box 2: aanmerkelijk belang, Box 3: spaargeld/beleggingen). De meeste werkenden hebben alleen te maken met Box 1 en BTW.

Box 1 — Nieuw drie-schijvensysteem

Vanaf 2025: 35,82% over inkomen tot €38.441. 37,48% over €38.441–€76.817. 49,5% boven €76.817. De middelste schijf is nieuw — opgesplitst van wat voorheen één schijf van 36,97% was. Onder AOW-leeftijd zijn deze tarieven inkomstenbelasting PLUS premies volksverzekeringen (AOW + Anw + Wlz).

Heffingskorting & Arbeidskorting

Every taxpayer gets the general tax credit up to €3,362. Employed people get an additional work credit up to €5,532. Both taper with income — high earners receive less.

Vpb 19% / 25,8%

Vennootschapsbelasting (corporate tax) is 19% on profits up to €200,000, 25.8% above. Lower than many EU peers and a big reason for the Nederland' popularity as an HQ jurisdiction.

21% BTW met verlaagd 9%

Qualifying expats can receive 30% of salary tax-free for up to 5 years (reduced from 8 years in 2024). Designed to attract international talent — currently scaled back under recent reforms.
