How can we help you?
Suurmond Tax-Consultants has been advising expats and individuals for over 35 years.
In the situations mentioned above it is wise to let an international tax advisor have a look at your situation. A well-structured and timely presentation is essential in the 30 ruling request to the Tax Service. Our specialized tax consultants know how to make sure your situation is well presented to the Dutch Tax Authorities. This will increase the chance your application is accepted.
We have also achieved good results for internationals who came to us for a second opinion after their first application was denied.
In a contact form or an e-mail you can explain your situation and ask us any questions you may have. On the basis of this, the tax advisor will come back to you with a fee proposal.
If you agree, then the advisor will look at the different aspects which apply to your situation and which elements are important to work on. Subsequently a proposal is made based on your circumstances on which you need advice and guidance.
We don’t work with a standard rate as every situation is unique. We are also dependent on information and details from your side as well. In addition, how your case will proceed depends on the response of the tax inspector to our point of view.

“For 1.5 year I was struggling to get my 30% ruling in place. Finally, when I was close to give up I found Sander’s Company in Google and I call his office. Sander took it over and after few emails, and calls…….everything was done.”
