Complete Your 30% Ruling Application Form

Fill in the official Dutch Tax Authority fields once, pay €12.10 incl. VAT, and download your completed application form straight away. Upload your employment contract first and we fill in most of it for you.

What is the official 30% ruling form? It is the Belastingdienst's "Verzoek loonheffingen expatregeling (30%-regeling)", a joint form signed by both employee and employer. You can download a blank copy from belastingdienst.nl and fill it in yourself, for free, then post it to the Dutch Tax Authority. Or upload your documents here: we fill in the same official form from your contract, you check every field, and you download the completed PDF plus a cover letter for €12.10 incl. VAT. Either way, you sign and submit the form yourself; there is no online submission portal.

One sitting, then instant download. This form collects everything the Dutch Tax Authority asks for on the official 30% ruling (Expat Scheme) application. Upload your documents and an EU-hosted reader fills in what it can. You review everything before you pay. After payment, your completed PDF and a matching cover letter download immediately in your browser. Your uploaded documents and your application are not stored on our servers.

Upload your documents to autofill

Upload the documents for your application, starting with your employment contract. You can add others, for example an assignment or relocation letter. Select all of them at once: choosing files again replaces the list. An automated reader pulls out the details and fills in the form for you. Prefer to type it yourself? Just skip this.

What the reader fills in: names and addresses, your employer's details and payroll tax number, job title, salary and the key dates, when they appear in your documents. It never fills in your BSN: you type that yourself. Every auto-filled field is marked, and you confirm each one before you pay.

Please tick the “I am not a robot” box below before you upload your documents.

Your documents

Click to upload

PDF, JPG, PNG. Up to 12 files, 4 MB each.

Your documents are read by a secure AI service hosted in the EU and are not stored. The BSN you type into this form is never sent to that service. It is held back until payment is complete and then sent to our servers in the EU only in the request that fills your PDF, where it is processed in memory and not stored. You do not need to upload anything that shows your BSN, such as a pay slip.

For 2026 the taxable wage must be more than €48,013 (more than €36,497 if you are under 30 with a master's). We pre-fill this from your salary below, but you can change it.

It is then sent to our servers in the EU in the payment-protected request that fills your PDF (again if you retry the download), where it is processed in memory and is never stored or logged. You do not need to upload a pay slip, and we recommend you don't: a pay slip shows your BSN, and any document you upload is read by our EU document service.
