How We Work

From payment to Belastingdienst approval - here's exactly how your 30% ruling application works, step by step.

1

Free Eligibility Check

2 minutes

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.

No risk: You only pay if you're eligible and want to proceed.
2

Pay & Complete Your Details

10-15 minutes

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
Tip: Not sure about a question? Leave it blank and add a note - we'll follow up by email.
