How We Work
From payment to Belastingdienst approval - here's exactly how your 30% ruling application works, step by step.
Free Eligibility Check
Fill in your basic details on our intake form - name, employer, salary, and previous country. We'll review your situation and email you within 24 hours with an eligibility assessment. No payment required at this stage.
Pay & Complete Your Details
After receiving your eligibility assessment, complete your payment securely via Stripe (€100 incl. VAT). You'll then receive a link to our detailed follow-up form, pre-filled with the information you already provided. We ask for the remaining details needed for the official Belastingdienst form - employer address, work history, previous stays in the Netherlands, and key dates.
Have these ready:
- Employment contract (start date, salary, signed date)
- Employer's payroll tax number (ask HR)
- Your previous address abroad
- Dates of any previous stays in the Netherlands
- Your arrival date in the Netherlands
We Prepare Your Application
We generate the official "Verzoek loonheffingen Expatregeling" form pre-filled with your details. We verify your data against the 2026 salary thresholds and distance requirements.
Your application package includes:
- Pre-filled official Belastingdienst form (PDF)
- Required documents checklist
- Employer instruction letter
- Step-by-step submission guide
Receive Your Package by Email
We email your complete application package to you. Everything is ready - just print, sign, and send. The employer instruction letter explains to your employer exactly what they need to do.
Sign & Submit
Print the form, sign it yourself, and have your employer sign. Then mail the complete package to the Belastingdienst. Our submission guide includes the exact address and a pre-submission checklist.
Submission address:
Belastingdienst, Postbus 2865, 6401 DJ Heerlen. We recommend sending by registered mail (aangetekend) for proof of delivery.
Approval & Payroll Adjustment
The Belastingdienst processes your application and sends a written decision. Once approved, share the approval letter with your employer's payroll department. They'll start applying the 30% tax-free allowance to your salary.
