Tax in the Netherlands

Print FAQ

Everyone who lives or works in the Netherlands or receives income while living in the country is liable to paying taxes in the Netherlands, unless they are here under a special tax regime. Like any country, direct taxation is an important source of revenue for the Dutch government and is collected by the Belastingdienst (Tax Office). In order to avoid double taxation, the Dutch government has signed tax treaties with a number of countries.
