Moving to the Netherlands
If you are planning to move to the Netherlands, it is important to understand what tax obligations you may encounter. Especially if you are unfamiliar with the Dutch tax system, this may seem like a daunting task. If you intend to apply for the 30%-ruling, the timing of your immigration can be particularly important.
Moving to the Netherlands
When you immigrate to the Netherlands, you should register with the local municipality (‘gemeente’). The Tax Office is then automatically notified of your arrival in the Netherlands, and you will receive your BSN (citizen service number). In the following year, you will need to submit a tax return for the previous year, using the M-form, which is specifically designed for immigration situations. The form is complex, and mistakes are commonly made.
