A price built around your business.

Each situation comes with its own deadlines and its own work. Your answer here lets us skip every question that does not apply to you.

When are you arriving, or when did you arrive? *

An estimate is fine. Some Dutch schemes run on a deadline that starts on the day you arrive, so we work back from that date.

Choose… I am already hereI know my arrival dateI am coming, but the date is not fixed yetI am still exploring, I do not know yet whether I will come

In which month do you arrive?

An estimate is enough. We work the deadlines back from it and adjust them as soon as your date is fixed.

How long have you been here? *

The 30% ruling has a four-month application window that starts on arrival. If it applies to you and you are close to that date, we pick it up first.

Choose… Less than four monthsMore than four monthsMore than a year

What is your nationality? *

Your nationality decides which residence route is open to you and which tax treaty applies; DAFT, for instance, exists only for Americans.

Choose… AmericanJapaneseIsraeliSouth AfricanEU / EEA / SwissBritishOther

Which route are you coming to the Netherlands on? *

Not sure yet? Say so. We will think along about which route fits your situation best.

Choose… DAFT (Dutch-American Friendship Treaty)Start-up visaHighly skilled migrant, through an employerI am coming with my partnerEU citizen, I do not need a residence permitI do not know yet

Do you already have a citizen service number (BSN)? *

The BSN is the personal number the Dutch government identifies you by. Without one you cannot register with the Chamber of Commerce or open a business account, so it is usually the first step.

Choose… No, not yetYes

Do you already have an address in the Netherlands? *

Your address decides which municipality you register with and from when you are taxable here. A temporary one counts.

Choose… Not yetTemporary (hotel, Airbnb, staying with family)Yes, rented or owned

What do you want to set up here?*

Your legal form decides how you are taxed, what you are liable for and what starting up costs. Not sure? Then we work it through with your own figures.

Are you applying for the 30% ruling? *

The ruling lets your employer pay part of your salary untaxed. The application has a four-month window that starts with your employment, so if you want it, that is the first thing we pick up.

Choose… Yes, I want to applyNoNot sure yet

What revenue do you expect in your first year here? *

An estimate is fine. Your revenue decides which package fits you; we never charge per invoice.

Choose… Nothing yet, I still have to startUp to €75,000€75,000 to €250,000€250,000 to €400,000€400,000 to €1 million€1 million to €2 millionMore than €2 million

Who is arranging your incorporation or registration? *

If you are doing it yourself, or it already runs through someone else, we leave that item out of your quote.

Choose… Nothing arranged yetI would like you to handle itI am doing it myselfAlready arranged, or running through someone else

Are you already working with someone on your move or your application? *

That way we avoid duplicated work and conflicting advice, and agree who picks up what.

Choose… NoYes, with Cardon & CompanyYes, with another immigration or relocation firmYes, with another bookkeeper or adviser

Do you have a company abroad? *

An LLC, Ltd, GmbH or anything similar counts, including a dormant one. If you keep it, it comes back in your Dutch return every year; if you close it, it is one-off work in the year you move.

Choose… No, I have no company abroadYes, but I am closing it before or when I moveYes, and I am keeping it

What legal form does that company have? *

The name says little on its own: the Netherlands looks at what your legal form counts as under Dutch tax law. That is why we ask now rather than later.

Choose…

Will you keep working for it from the Netherlands? *

A management fee between two countries needs substantiation; being only a shareholder is a good deal simpler.

Choose… Yes, I work in it activelyYes, and my Dutch company invoices it a management feeNo, I am only a shareholder now

What else applies to you?

Tick whatever applies. Each of these three changes your return, even if your business here starts small.

What do you want to set up?*

Your legal form decides how you are taxed, what you are liable for and what starting up costs. Not sure? Then we work it through with your own figures.

Do you want a holding company above it from the start?*

This is best decided now: you can add a holding later, but that is a separate route with extra costs.

What revenue do you expect in your first year? *

An estimate is fine. Your revenue decides which package fits you; we never charge per invoice.

Choose… Nothing yet, I still have to startUp to €75,000€75,000 to €250,000€250,000 to €400,000€400,000 to €1 million€1 million to €2 millionMore than €2 million

When do you want to start? *

Starting on 1 January avoids a broken financial year. Earlier is always possible; it is not a condition.

Choose… As soon as possibleWithin a monthIn one to three monthsOn 1 JanuaryI am still exploring

Who arranges the incorporation or registration? *

If you are doing it yourself, or it already runs through someone else, we leave that item out of your quote.

Choose… I would like you to handle itI am doing it myselfAlready arranged, or running through someone else

Would you like your personal income tax return included?*

If you have a tax partner, your two returns are assessed together and shared items may be divided between you. We then do both in one go.

Is there anything international? *

Clients or suppliers across the border mainly affect your VAT; a company or assets abroad affect the return itself.

Choose… NoYes, clients or suppliers abroadYes, a company or assets abroad

*

Search by name or Chamber of Commerce number and add them all, including the holding. Each company keeps its own set of books, but they appear together on one quote.

I cannot find the company, enter it myself

How many of those are holding companies?*

A holding owns the shares and usually only invoices a management fee. That changes how much work each company takes.

Is there a fiscal unity between those companies?*

A fiscal unity lets companies file together as one. It is not in the trade register, so we cannot look it up, and it decides whether we file one return or several.

What would you like us to take on?*

You can hand everything over, or have us look first. This tells us what belongs in your quote and what does not.

Roughly what is your annual revenue? *

An estimate is fine. Your revenue decides which package fits you; we never charge per invoice.

Choose… Under €1,000Up to €75,000€75,000 to €250,000€250,000 to €400,000€400,000 to €1 million€1 million to €2 millionMore than €2 million

Who handles your books now? *

So we know whether we are taking over from a firm, and whether a handover needs arranging.

Choose… A bookkeeper or accounting firmI do it myselfNobody at the moment

Are your books up to date? *

If work is outstanding, we put the catching-up straight into your quote, so it does not surprise you afterwards.

Choose… Yes, up to and including last quarterMostly, some work is outstandingNo, it is behindI am not sure

How often do you file VAT? *

How often you file decides your package and the most convenient moment to switch.

Choose… Every quarterEvery monthOnce a yearI do not file VAT (exempt, or the small businesses scheme)

When do you want to switch? *

Switching at a quarter or year boundary avoids double work, but mid-period is possible too.

Choose… As soon as possibleOn 1 JanuaryAfter my annual accountsI am still exploring

If you have a tax partner, your two returns are assessed together and shared items may be divided between you. We then do both in one go.
