Amnesty ruling
If undeclared savings come to the tax inspector’s attention the taxpayer will incur a maximum penalty of 300% in addition to paying the taxes for the past 12 years including legal interest. If the money undeclared has been in The Netherlands all this time – such as cash – taxes are only due for the past 5 years.
Amesty ruling
However, there is a solution. If you declare your assets voluntarily using the amnesty ruling, the penalty is reduced substantially. The amnesty ruling makes it possible to legalize undeclared capital such as bank accounts, shares, property abroad and other investments.
Finally we should mention that if you have the 30% ruling you have most likely correctly not declared your assets. In this situation you would have opted for partial non-domestic taxation in which case you do not have to declare any assets in box 3 with the exemption of Dutch real estate.
- If you have undeclared assets, bank accounts, property or foreign income
- If you have a house abroad and didn’t declare it
- If you received property by inheritance
- If your 30% ruling is ending and you want advice on how to declare your worldwide income
- If you received a letter from a foreign bank asking your residence, or tax aspects and/or your CRS Status
- If you are in possession of undeclared money.
In the situations mentioned, it is wise to let an international tax advisor who has experience with the amnesty ruling, have a look at your situation. We can advise you on the possibilities and help to reduce the tax penalty as well as the due tax.
How can we help you?
Suurmond Tax-Consultants has been advising expats and individuals for over 35 years. After contacting us it will become clear whether we are the right party to help you.
In a contact form or an e-mail you can explain your situation and ask us any questions you may have. Your situations will be looked at by one of our advisors. 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.
