The Dutch Expat Scheme can have a meaningful impact on net income, but eligibility depends on the individual situation. Talcom helps employees and employers assess the case, prepare the documentation, submit the application and understand what to expect while the Dutch Tax Authorities review it.
The right approach depends on whether this is a first application, a change in employment or a more complex eligibility question. We help clarify the route before anything is submitted.
The Expat Scheme is a tax facility, not an immigration permit. Eligibility, documentation and timing should be assessed for the individual case. Approval and processing times are controlled by the Dutch Tax Authorities.
We review whether the circumstances appear to fit the scheme, explain the documents needed and prepare the application with the employee and employer.
A job change can affect the existing arrangement. We review the new employment situation, timing and available documentation before advising on the next application step.
International work histories, remote work, residence questions or unusual travel patterns can make eligibility less clear. We map the facts first and verify where further interpretation is needed.
A simple online checklist does not always capture the full employment history. Talcom regularly deals with questions involving international employment, remote work, cross border situations and residence history. We first establish the facts, identify the points that matter and explain where certainty exists and where further verification is required. We do not promise an outcome before the case supports it.
We move quickly on preparation. The decision itself sits with the Dutch Tax Authorities.
