The Netherlands income tax refund FAQs
You can apply for a tax refund after the end of the relevant tax year. You can apply for the previous 5 tax years.
The tax year in The Netherlands runs from 1 January until 31 December.
On average our customers get an average tax refund of €910, but ultimately the amount you get back will depend on your individual circumstances such as your living arrangements, marital status and whether or not you’re entitled to any tax deductions.
Simply register with Taxback and share the requested information relating to your income and time in the Netherlands.
Our team will take it from there. We will prepare all the tricky tax paperwork for you and file your tax return with the relevant tax office.
Finally, once the Dutch tax authorities have approved your application, they will issue your refund straight to your bank account.
On average it will take 3-4 months to get your tax refund from the Netherlands. But ultimately it depends on how busy the Tax Office is.
The best way to see what’s happening with your tax refund is to contact your account manager directly.
Sometimes, due to post office or tax office delays, your refund can take longer to get to you. If your refund is delayed for whatever reason, we will contact the relevant office on your behalf and keep you updated on the progress of your application.
Your tax return is a document detailing how much you’ve earned during the year and how much tax you’ve paid in addition to your tax obligations and any tax deductions you’re entitled to.
Your tax refund is the amount of money you get back for the overpayment of a particular tax.
We file your tax return in order to get your tax refund.
For Dutch tax returns we charge 16.5% + handling fee of the refund received subject to a minimum fee of €50 + handling fee.
Our fee covers all the things that make filing your Dutch tax return with us so easy. These include:
- Customer support 24/7 by phone and Live Chat
- Online tracking service in seven languages
- Free phone and free fax
- Local staff to meet you and guide you through the process in 18 offices worldwide
- Tax technicians
- Researchers to identify new legal developments to maximise your refunds
You will need:
- Your Jaaropgaaf or Statement of Earnings
- Your completed tax pack
- A copy of your ID/Passport
- As of 2015 if you live in an EU country, Liechtenstein, Bonaire, Sint Eustatius or Saba, Norway, Iceland, Switzerland and you pay tax in the Netherlands on at least 90% of your worldwide income, you will also need to submit personal income statement from the tax authorities in your country of residence
The Jaaropgaaf is the official government form you get from your employer at the end of the tax year which outlines your earnings and the amount of taxes you paid that year. You should receive it by the end of February in the year following the tax year you worked in. If you don’t have one it’s no problem – we can contact your employer to organise a statement of earnings.
Don’t worry – if you don’t have your documents just simply email your account manager to let them know and for a small additional fee we can find them or organise replacements for you.
You could, but often the process is much more complicated than people realise. Preparing and filing your tax refund yourself will involve gathering all the documentation yourself, making sure it complies with tax codes, and sending them to the tax office, who won’t update you on your case until they tell you whether or not you’re due a refund. By using Taxback you are avoiding all this extra stress and work and making sure that you get not only the maximum tax refund, but that your tax return is fully compliant with Dutch tax law.
Unfortunately we can’t – but the refund estimation we give you is based upon the average refund we’ve gotten for thousands of customers over the past 17 years, so it’s a pretty good estimation of what you’ll get.
