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.
