Pro rata Dutch tax deduction for foreign tax residents

September 2, 2021 by Jan-Hein

Pro rata Dutch tax deduction for foreign tax residents. Due to European case law originating from February 2017, new rules are applicable regarding the entitlement to deductible items, tax credits and tax-free allowance for qualified non-resident taxpayers.

An important condition to be met was the condition to pay tax here in the Netherlands on at least 90% of your worldwide income, otherwise opting for deductible items, tax credits and tax-free allowance was impossible.

From now on the Netherlands must also (pro rata) take into account the above mentioned deductible items for cases in which foreign taxpayers do not earn 90% or more of their income in the Netherlands. The conditions to be met are:

1) The foreign taxpayer is, as a resident of another Member State of the European Union, another State party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, Switzerland or the BES islands (the circle of countries) involved in the taxation of that other Member State or State, or the BES islands;

2) The (world) income of the taxpayer determined by Dutch standards is fully or almost entirely (for 90% or more) subject to wage tax or income tax in two or more other states (including the Netherlands) than the state of residence.

3) The (world) income of a taxpayer determined by Dutch standards is not fully or almost entirely (for 90% or more) subject to a wage tax or income tax in a state other than the Netherlands.

A further condition is that the taxpayer must provide an income statement from the tax authority of the state of residence.

If the taxpayer meets the above conditions, then the right to deduct is according to the extent to which the income to be taxed in the Netherlands is part of the world income. We can assist with preparing the correct processing in the Dutch personal income tax return.

Agreements Germany and Belgium home work days Covid-19

March 8, 2021 by Jan-Hein

Dutch tax agreements with Germany and Belgium for days working from home due to Covid-19

The main rule for salary taxation is that employees are taxed in the county were they work. Because of Covid-19 people are working way more from home and this can bring unwanted double taxation and a higher income tax burden. Think of situations were usually you traveled a lot and worked often in the country were you get your salary from, this income is taxed there.

But now due to Covid-19 you have not travelled that much and most of your income will be taxable in The Netherlands, while the other country may also want to have a claim on part of your income.

To cope with these problems, additional agreements have been made by The Netherlands with Germany (6th April 2020 – at least 31st of March 2021) and Belgium (30th of April 2020 – at least 31st of March 2021)  regarding working from home.

In both cases the countries have agreed that cross-border workers may treat days worked from home as days were they would have normally (pre Covid-19) worked across the border, these days may be taxed by the other country.

If you require assistance with preparing your personal income tax return, please feel free to contact us.

Changes in Dutch real estate transfer tax as of 2021

January 16, 2021 by Jan-Hein

Changes in Dutch real estate transfer tax as of 2021

As per January 1st 2021, there are changes in the Dutch real estate transfer tax. If the buyer is between 18-34 years of age, on a one-off basis, no Dutch real estate transfer tax is due when purchasing a home where the buyer will live him- of herself as a main residence, meaning the aim to live there for a longer and majority period of time.

An additional rule to the above applies as of April 1st 2021: The purchase price of the house may not exceed an amount of € 400.000. In case the purchase price does exceed this amount, as of April 1st 2021, a 2% real estate transfer tax rate will apply on the full amount of the purchase price.

Finally, the Dutch real estate transfer tax rates have been adjusted. A buyer with the age of 35 or older, who buys a house in which he/she him/herself is going to live, the real estate transfer tax rate remains at 2%. However for the purchase of a residential house for investment, or commercial immovable property, an increased rate of 8% applies for the real estate transfer tax.

After purchasing a home as your main residence, you may request the tax office for a preliminary tax refund of mortgage interest deduction. We assist with requesting these preliminary tax refunds as well as with preparing the annual personal income tax returns over the year in which such property was bought.

Dutch real estate held by foreign residents, is subject to Dutch personal income tax. We assist various foreign residents with preparing their personal income tax returns. In addition we can directly handle all related correspondence with the tax Dutch office by serving as our clients’ correspondence address.

AirBNB rental income taxed also in case only part of a home is let

September 18, 2020 by Jan-Hein

AirBNB rental income is taxed also in case when only part of the main residence home is let. The awaited verdict of High Council (“Hoge Raad”) has recently followed. Whilst it was already clear that income from temporary renting through e.g. airbnb is taxed in case an entire main residence house or apartment is let, the lower courts were of the opinion that income from renting out parts of main residence apartments/houses could not be taxed.

It is now clear that the tax office is also allowed to tax income derived from temporary letting of parts of main residence apartments and houses. The taxation method is that 70% of the rental income (related expenses are deductible) is to be added to the deemed income of home ownership in box 1.

In case the house or apartment is not your main residence, it will most likely (if it is a so-called passive investment) fall into the equity tax system in which a deemed – and not the actual – rental income is taxed.

We can assist with the preparation of your personal income tax return as well as any other required tax, legal, accountancy related service.

Temporary interest measures tax authorities because of Covid-19

September 8, 2020 by Jan-Hein

Temporary reduction of collection interest and tax interest

If you do not pay an assessment on time, you normally have to pay 4% recovery interest from the moment the payment term has expired. As of March 23, 2020, the tax authorities will temporarily reduce the collection interest from 4% to 0.01%. This applies to all tax debts.

The tax office charges tax interest if a tax return was not filed on time or was filed for an incorrect amount. The tax interest rate is 8% for corporate tax and 4% for other taxes. The tax office will also temporarily lower the tax interest rate to 0.01%.

This temporary measure will apply to all taxes subject to tax interest. The temporary reduction of the tax rate will take effect from 1 June 2020, except for income tax. For the income tax, the reduction will take effect from 1 July 2020.

The end date of the tax interest lowering is set on October 1st 2020. The interest will then increase back to 4%. Also the tax interest for the corporate income tax will increase to 4% instead of the previously applicable 8%, the 4% for corporate income tax will remain till the end of the year 2021. 

If you need any assistance with your tax return, we have been assisting both companies and private individuals for many years.
