If such facility is granted, the company may provide 30% of the salary to the employee free of tax for a maximum period of five years. The 30% tax free advantage is decreased over the 5 years.
This facility offers additional benefits, ranging from a near exemption from Dutch wealth tax to tax-free reimbursement of international school-fees, a simplified exchange of driver’s licenses and more.

Dutch migration and work permit
Navigating Dutch migration law can be complex, but we make it simple. Dutch migration law provides specific visa procedures for highly skilled workers originating from outside of the EU. Foreign employees normally require a Dutch work permit (tewerkstellingsvergunning, TWV), but EU, European Economic Area (EEA,) i.e. Liechtenstein, Norway and Iceland) and Swiss nationals are exempt from this requirement.
We advise on and submit applications for the Orientation Year Permit for highly educated individuals who have recently graduated or obtained a PhD in the Netherlands. This permit, valid for 1 year and gives expat graduates after graduation the opportunity to find a job or start their business.
Highly qualified non-EU/EEA nationals may apply for the EU Blue Card. This is a combined residence and work permit, which enables employment in the Netherlands with additional benefits, such as facilitated mobility within the EU.
We can assist you throughout the application process for the individuals involved, as well as for their family members.

When employees are temporarily seconded to another country, navigating social security rules can be difficult.
EU rules and bilateral totalisation treaties provide for the application of certain statements that indicate the country where such employees are insured for social security purposes. These statements, which are called A1 Certificates in the EU and Certificates of Coverage in other countries, can also be extended to family members, including spouses and children, depending on the situation.
Obtaining these certificates ensures that social security continues to apply in the employee’s home country, typically for up to two years, with the possibility of extending this period to five years.
We can assist you with the application for these A1 statements and Certificates of Coverage, including (if possible) their extension beyond the two-year period so compliancy with social security regulations are met
