Terms of Service

Effective Date: April 14, 2026

1. Service Description

Dutch 30% Ruling ("we," "us," or "our") provides a document-preparation service for the Dutch 30% ruling (Expat Scheme) administered by the Dutch Tax Authority (Dutch Tax and Customs Administration). We prepare the application form from the information and documents you provide. We do not give tax advice.

What We Do

Our services include:

  • Eligibility assessment based on your personal and employment circumstances
  • Preparation of application forms and supporting documentation
  • Pre-filled PDF forms ready for submission to the Dutch Tax Authority
  • Reading employer and salary details from the employment contract you optionally upload
  • Submission instructions shown with your download to help you file correctly
  • Email support for questions related to your application

What We Don't Do

Please note that our services are limited in scope. We specifically do NOT:

  • File or submit your application to the Dutch Tax Authority. You (or your employer) must submit the completed form.
  • Provide traditional legal or tax advice. Our service is application preparation assistance only.
  • Represent you in disputes or objections with the Dutch Tax Authority, or give tax advice on your situation.
  • Guarantee approval of your application. Only the Dutch Tax Authority can approve or reject your request.
  • Handle matters outside the 30% ruling, such as general tax planning, visa sponsorship, or relocation services.

2. No Guarantee of Approval

We prepare your application carefully and professionally. However, the Dutch Tax Authority makes the final decision on approval. Approval depends on your eligibility against official criteria, the completeness and accuracy of your evidence, and the tax authority's assessment.

We cannot and do not guarantee that your application will be approved, even if we assess you as eligible. Factors beyond our control (interpretation of eligibility criteria, quality of evidence, or Dutch Tax Authority policy changes) may result in rejection.

No cure, no pay. We cannot guarantee the Dutch Tax Authority's decision, but you do not carry its financial risk: if the ruling is not granted, our no-cure-no-pay guarantee refunds your €49 fee in full, whatever the reason (see Section 5).

3. Pricing and Payment

We offer one service:

  • Self-Service: €49.00 (incl. VAT) – Automated eligibility check, pre-filled official Dutch Tax Authority form, and submission instructions shown with your download. You submit the completed form yourself.

Payment is required in full before your completed form is generated. We accept payment via Stripe credit card processing. Payment confirms your acceptance of these Terms of Service.

Prices are quoted in EUR and include Dutch VAT (21%). Your Stripe receipt serves as your invoice.

4. Delivery

Your completed form is generated and made available for download immediately after payment. You download the pre-filled Dutch Tax Authority PDF in your browser on the page Stripe redirects you to after checkout. There is no email delivery and no waiting period.

Delivery is the PDF download in your browser. We do not provide printed materials or postal delivery. Because the form is filled from the data held in your browser session, you should complete checkout and download in the same browser.

The completed form is yours to keep. Save the PDF when it downloads: the download page does not keep a copy, and we do not store your form data or generated PDF on our servers. See our privacy policy for the detail.

5. Refund Policy and No Cure, No Pay Guarantee

No cure, no pay guarantee

If the Dutch Tax Authority does not grant your 30% ruling, we refund our €49 service fee in full, whatever the reason for the decision. There are no exceptions based on how the application was completed or submitted.

To claim under the guarantee, email the Dutch Tax Authority's written decision to info@dutch30percentruling.com within 30 days of the date on that decision.

Before payment is taken

Filling in the form is free, and payment comes only at the end. The form checks the core criteria for the 30% ruling as you go (for example, recruited from abroad, salary against the threshold, distance requirement). If it flags that you do not meet them, you see this before paying, so there is nothing to refund.

When a refund does not apply

  • Voluntary cancellation after delivery: once your completed application has been delivered, we do not refund simply because you decide not to proceed where the Dutch Tax Authority has not refused your ruling. The service has been performed and the deliverable provided.
Approved refunds, including no-cure-no-pay refunds, are processed within 10 business days to your original payment method. Questions: info@dutch30percentruling.com.

6. Accuracy Guarantee

We guarantee that the forms we prepare are completed accurately and correctly based on the information you provide to us.

However, you are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the information you provide. If you give us incorrect or incomplete information, and this results in an error on your form or rejection by the Dutch Tax Authority, we are not liable for any loss beyond our fee. The no-cure-no-pay guarantee in Section 5 still applies: if the ruling is not granted, we refund your €49 regardless of the reason. You must review all materials before submission and notify us of any errors we should correct.

We will correct any errors caused by our misinterpretation of your information at no additional cost. Such corrections must be requested within 7 days of delivery.

If you upload a document and we pre-fill fields from it using automated reading, those values are an aid only and may be misread. You are responsible for checking every field, including any that were filled automatically, before you submit your application to the Dutch Tax Authority.

7. Limitation of Liability (Critical)

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE SERVICE (€49).

Under no circumstances will we be liable for:

  • Indirect damages, consequential damages, or special damages
  • Lost tax savings, lost income, or lost employment opportunities
  • Penalties or fines imposed by the Dutch Tax Authority
  • Any damages arising from the Dutch Tax Authority's decision to reject your application
  • Damages resulting from your failure to submit the application or submit it late
  • Damages from changes in tax law or policy after your application is prepared
  • Any liability for third-party claims or disputes
This limitation applies regardless of the cause of loss, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. The Dutch Tax Authority's decisions, actions, or inactions are wholly outside our control and we cannot be held responsible for them.

8. Client Responsibilities

To ensure the best outcome, you agree to:

  • Provide accurate information: All personal, employment, and financial information you provide must be truthful, complete, and current.
  • Submit the application: You (or your employer) are responsible for submitting the completed form to the Dutch Tax Authority. We do not submit on your behalf.
  • Meet the deadline: You must submit your application within 4 months of your employment start date to maximize the retroactive effect of the ruling.
  • Gather supporting documents: You are responsible for collecting and submitting evidence (employment contract, passport, proof of residence, salary records, etc.) as indicated in our checklist.
  • Review all materials: Before submitting, review all forms and documents carefully. Notify us of any errors within 7 days if you find mistakes.

9. Intellectual Property

Your prepared form belongs to you. Once delivered, you own the completed application materials and may do with them as you wish, including submitting them to the Dutch Tax Authority.

Our website content, templates, and tools remain our property. You may not copy, reproduce, or reuse our materials without permission.
