30% ruling

If you were recruited outside of the Netherlands or seconded by an employer to work in the Netherlands, your employer may provide you with 30% of your salary tax free. Only when the requirements are met and the employee and employer received the approval from the Dutch tax office, the 30% ruling can be taken into account.

There are the following 30% ruling requirements:

• You have an employment relationship;
• In the 24 months before your first working day in the Netherlands, you lived at least 16 months more than 15o kilometres in a straight line from the Dutch border;
• You have specific expertise that is not or barely available on the Dutch labour market;
• You received the apprroval from the Dutch tax office.
