• Deductions: When you start working in the Netherlands as an expat or highly skilled migrant, you have largely the same tax rights as the average Dutchman. This therefore also means that you are entitled to certain deductions, such as healthcare costs, donations and certain costs for your own home. This makes it possible to significantly reduce your total amount of tax payable each year. For this too, it is advisable to check what is possible, giving you a clear picture of the best next steps to take.
  
  

Tax benefits: Finally, there are a few tax benefits specifically created for expats and knowledge migrants. The tax benefit that stands out the most in this area is that you are entitled to 2 specific tax exemptions. First, this involves a tax exemption on your income as an expat from global savings and investments. In addition, you also get tax exemption on dividends as a substantial shareholder. For both exemptions, however, there is an exception for domestic real estate investments and direct shares in a Dutch company, respectively.
