Netherlands: Don't forget your tax return:

Many expats in The Netherlands forget to file a tax return if they didn't receive one from the tax office. Most of the time the Dutch tax office will only send you a tax form when they believe you owe them money. If you think you can claim a refund you have to take action yourself. This is important because it can save you thousands of Euros. Almost every expat will get a refund in the year he/she arrives in The Netherlands and in the year he/she leaves The Netherlands again. That's because not all tax credits are included in your salary properly. You will have to get them back from the tax office instead. So a small effort for a lot of money. Also if you are a partner of a working partner and you don't work yourself you can still claim a refund. You can claim the same personal tax credit as your partner. Since you don't have a salary the credit can't be included in it. There might be more reasons why you should file a tax return, like buying a house (yes, that's also possible for expats, as long as they can get a mortgage) or other tax deductible costs. To file a tax refund form you have the time until three years after the end of the tax year. Tax year is the normal calenderyear in The Netherlands. Kind regards, Arjan Enneman www.expatax.nl

Netherlands: Dutch tax changes for 2001:

Indeed as a (deemed) non-resident you don't have to pay taxes on out-of-the-country assets. You only have to pay if you have a (second) house here (which you rent to other people). If you have to pay taxes in box 3 all assets are taken in consideration except personal property like a car, clothes, furniture etc and of course your own house (which is taxed in box 1). You pay 30% taxes over a fictif income of 4% from your average fortune during the year. You have a tax free amount. And indeed no deductions are possible.

Netherlands: Legal advice for expats in Holland:

It depends on what type of business you would like to start. There is a limited company which has to be started with the help of a notary. If your profit will be around 70000 Eur this might be your choice. But you can also start a one man business (eenmanszaak), which can be started very simple. Just contact the tax office and the chambre of commerce and file the needed forms. No help needed from a law firm. But you may need the help of a Dutch taxadvisor with starting the business and with your taxforms and the administration of the business. Take a look at www.belasting-service.nl to find more information.
