Tax facilities for companies in the Netherlands
If you have a company in the Netherlands, you may be eligible to use several tax schemes. There are, for example, tax reliefs and allowances for self-employed entrepreneurs and starting companies. There are also schemes to write off business resources at an accelerated pace.
Are you a starting company?
Starting companies can use the Dutch Tax and Customs Administration's "Rekenhulp Startersvoordeel" tool (only available in Dutch). The tool shows which tax facilities you are eligible for, by providing basic information like age, billable hours, operating expenses, turnover, purchasing expenses and investment expenses.
