Expatriates should know about the 30%
ruling. Highly skilled immigrants are entitled to
30% of their gross salary tax free! To qualify, you must have
been recruited outside the Netherlands and have special skills not
readily available in the Netherlands (for instance, specialist IT
skills). You must apply for this jointly with your employer,
and must reapply if you change jobs. Here
is a list of the items
you'll need to make your application.
