Tax services for Expats living in the Netherlands

Friendly guidance for your Dutch taxes,
so you can file with confidence.

Dutch income tax return filing

In the Netherlands you pay income tax on your worldwide taxable income (“inkomstenbelasting”). The Dutch tax year runs from 1 January to 31 December and returns are usually due before 1 May. As an expat, rules around residency, the M-form, the 30% ruling, partners filing jointly, and deductions (e.g., mortgage interest, study costs) can make things complex. With our online intake you provide your details, and our specialists prepare and review your Dutch return so it’s accurate, compliant, and on time.

Hear it from our clients

Real experiences from expats we helped with their Dutch tax return.

“Hello, I wanted to take a moment to share my excellent experience working with Jolande Geerts on my annual tax return filing. I along with my wife have been taking Jolande’s help since 5+ years annually and from the very beginning, Jolande made the entire process feel straightforward and manageable, even though the complexities of Dutch tax requirements can be quite overwhelming for an expat. She’s been consistently professional, knowledgeable, and patient in addressing all my questions, making sure we understood each step along the way. Jolande’s clear communication gave us confidence that everything was being handled accurately and efficiently. We truly appreciate her assistance. We highly recommend Jolande Geerts to anyone looking for a reliable and personable expert in expat tax matters. Best regards,”

“I always go to ExpatTaxcare for all my tax needs. My partner and I have filed taxes together with them for years now. They file taxes faster, and they are accurate. I keep using them because of their quick support and great service. Also, they answer all our questions without hesitation, which is why I recommend them to all my friends as well. Their questionnaire is easy to understand. Although tax filing is hard, with ExpatTaxCare, it is an easy task at a lower cost.”

“I have been using services for the past three years for both my tax filings with partner and childcare/daycare benefit applications, and I couldn’t be happier. She is always incredibly helpful, patient with my questions, and consistently explains everything clearly,. This year, when I accidentally submitted the wrong VvE document for my tax filing, my VvE administrator was not very helpful. She immediately supported me by sharing the correct sample versions from previous years, which made a huge difference and helped me resolve the issue quickly.”

“I’ve been filing my taxes with Jolande for the past three years, and it’s always been a smooth and positive experience. She responds quickly to any questions, handles everything efficiently, and ensures the return is filed in the most optimal way. I can confidently recommend her services.”

Frequently asked questions

If you can’t find what you are looking for don’t hesitate to contact us.

Do I actually need to file a Dutch tax return?

Yes. If you received a letter from the Tax Office or if you expect a refund or extra tax. Even without an invitation, filing can put money back in your pocket, for example in a migration year or with mortgage interest and other deductions.


What documents do you need from me to get started?

BSN, DigiD, annual income statements, bank and loan details, proof of 30% ruling if applicable, assets snapshot on January 1, WOZ value, and any deduction receipts. Upload everything securely via our Jotform link.


Can you file for me? How does authorization work?

Yes. You upload, we review, you authorize, and we file. After submission you receive a confirmation and our invoice, clear and itemized.


When will I get my assessment or refund?

Usually within a few months, faster if you file early. You can track the status in Mijn Belastingdienst. We keep an eye on anything that needs your attention.


I did not get an invitation letter. Can I still file?

Yes. Voluntary filing often results in refunds for expats, for example after a partial year of work or when mortgage interest and other deductions apply. We check your situation and file proactively.


What if I miss the deadline?

Late filings can lead to fines and interest. We can request an extension and get you back on track quickly.


I have the 30% ruling. How does that affect my taxes?

With the partial non resident option, certain foreign Box 3 assets may fall outside Dutch tax. We set this up correctly and optimize your overall position.


I own or bought a home. What about mortgage interest?

Mortgage interest on your main home is deductible. The imputed home value, the eigenwoningforfait, increases taxable income. We balance both to improve your outcome.


How do I know if I will pay or get money back?

After filing, check Mijn Belastingdienst for Refund scheduled or Amount due. We explain the result, the next steps, and your payment options and dates if you owe.


I moved to the Netherlands this year. What does that mean for my return?

You will likely use the M form. We handle the cross-border details such as residency dates, treaty relief, and split income, so you do not miss deductions or refunds.
