Filing Dutch Tax Return | Tax & Service Solutions

Dutch Taxes and DutchTax Returns

Am I required to file my Tax return declaration in The Netherlands?

Every resident in the Netherlands over 18 years old who earns an income or has assets in the Netherlands is required to file an annual Dutch tax return after receiving a notification from the “Belastingdienst” (Dutch tax authorities). However, it can sometimes take a while (years) before you receive a notification from the Dutch tax authorities to file your Dutch tax declaration.

Sometimes it transpires that you no longer need to keep filing your tax declaration. If this is the case you will be notified by the tax authorities. Naturally, this doesn’t mean that it can’t still be beneficial for you to file your taxes anyway. If your financial situation changes, we recommend you check whether filing your taxes is still required and whether doing so could be beneficial for you.

You are always required to file your Dutch tax return if one of the following applies to you:

You have received a notification from the tax authorities
You have more than one job or employer during a year
You own a private business or work as a freelancer
You know you will have to pay taxes due to your financial situation
You have received a preliminary tax refund in a particular year (monthly rebate for your mortgage payments)
If your worldwide assets exceed the threshold for that particular year

The Dutch Tax Return Forms

There are several types of tax declarations that you can file for your personal return.
The Dutch tax authorities require different forms for different personal financial situations.

P-FORM

This is by far the most common way to file your personal Dutch tax returns. Used for mortgage deduction, employment income and (worldwide) assets

C-FORM

This form is to be used for non-resident tax payers who have taxable source of income in The Netherlands, such as rent from real-estate.

M-FORM

For Dutch tax residents who arrived in the Netherlands from abroad or left the Netherlands during the taxable year. Visit our special M-FORM page to learn more about this type of tax declaration.

VT-FORM

This is not an official form but the term is used frequently in the Netherlands and it is therefore mentioned here. Essentially, it is the way to apply for a provisional tax refund based on deductible costs such as mortgage interest.
