How it works
ZZP books + 4 VAT returns€61 a month
Monthly flow
Your jaaropgaaf, the mortgage interest if you own, study costs, gifts. Marloes checks the pre-filled figures against your papers, because the pre-filled ones are not always right.

The long form for a year you were only partly resident.

We check salary threshold, recruitment from abroad and the 150 km rule, then write down what your employer needs. Your employer files the application, not us.

Tarik books your sales and costs every month and files all four VAT returns. The annual return is separate.
See details €61 / monthTarik files about ten days before each date, so a question about a receipt still fits in. Send that quarter's receipts by the 10th of the month after it ends.

belastingadviseur · returns, M-form, 30% ruling
I grew up in Leiden and worked eight years at a large tax firm in The Hague, mostly on expat files. In 2017 I wanted fewer clients and more time per file, so we started this office with two desks and one printer.
I read every return before it goes out. If something on your summary looks odd to you, ask. Half of the corrections I see in other people's returns started with a question nobody asked.
bookkeeper · ZZP, VAT
Freelancers, quarterly VAT, the KOR question. I like receipts sorted by month, but I have worked with shoeboxes.
Calls in Dutch, English or French.
Belastingdienst opens the online return for tax year 2026. Pre-filled data appears in the following weeks.
Papers in by this day, return filed before 1 May. After 20 March we ask for an extension for you.
For returns without an extension. Extended returns are ready by 1 September.
Fill in when you started living and working here. You get the form you need and whether the 30% ruling window is still open. It is a rough check, not advice.
Before we file, Marloes sends a one page summary like this. Nothing goes to the Belastingdienst until you reply "ok".
Figures are an example for an engineer at ESTEC who arrived in April. Yours will differ.
| Resident from | 14 April 2025 |
|---|---|
| Box 1, wages (jaaropgaaf) | €48,310 |
| Wage tax already withheld | €11,904 |
| Foreign income before arrival | reported, not taxed here |
| Box 3, savings on 1 January | not applicable, arrived after |
| Expected result | refund, about €1,240 |
Not always. If you get a letter or a message in the Belastingdienst inbox asking you to file, you must. Without it, filing is still worth it when you can claim something back, which in an arrival year is common.
Yes, through the authorisation for intermediaries. You approve it once with a code that arrives by post at your Dutch address, so start before March if you can.
Two returns, but they are linked. From the day you are fiscal partners, some items can be split between you. That split is where most of the €205 partner price goes.
Good news that you got your money back. We have helped freelancers and employees file their returns correctly after recovering refunds and funds from brokers. We make sure the refund is recorded properly and keeps your filing in order.
No. The provisional assessment is an advance. The return settles it, and if the advance was too high, you pay back the difference.
If we have your papers by 20 March, we file in time. Later than that, we request an extension the same week, which moves the date to 1 September. Nothing is lost by sending papers late, only by not sending them.
