Frequently asked questions

That depends on your situation. An income tax return for a private individual is a different job from a corporate income tax return for a private limited company (BV) with several shareholdings. We always give you a fixed price upfront, so you know exactly where you stand.

Yes, wherever possible. For recurring work such as tax returns and bookkeeping, we charge a fixed fee per year or per quarter. For one-off jobs, we give you an estimate upfront.

Yes. An introductory meeting is always free and without obligation. We only get to work once you've agreed to our proposal.

Once we have all your documents, we usually file your return within two weeks. In urgent cases — a reminder from the Dutch Tax Administration (Belastingdienst), for example — we move faster.

Absolutely. You don't have to hand over all your bookkeeping to us. We also help with individual questions, a second opinion or a one-off advisory project.

Of course. We arrange the handover and make sure the switch goes smoothly. You don't have to do a thing.

Yes. Tax advice isn't seasonal — and neither are your questions. You can reach us all year round by phone and email.

Digitally by email, or on paper at our office in Lisse. Our checklist shows you exactly which documents we need.

Definitely. A lot of our work is digital, so wherever you live, we're happy to help. An introductory meeting can take place online, too.

Don't panic. As a tax adviser, we can arrange an extension for you through the extension scheme (uitstelregeling). Filing your own return? Then you can request an extension from the Belastingdienst yourself before 1 May, which gives you until 1 September.

The Belastingdienst can then impose a penalty for late filing and determine your tax assessment itself. So get in touch in good time — together, we'll make sure it doesn't come to that.

Yes. You have six weeks from the date on the assessment. We look at whether an objection is worthwhile and draft the notice of objection for you.

An advance that the Belastingdienst charges or pays out based on an estimate of your income. If that estimate is no longer accurate, we'll have it adjusted for you. That way, you avoid a hefty extra bill later on.

That depends on your profit, your plans and your risks. There's no fixed tipping point. We run the numbers on both options for you, so you can make a well-founded choice.

To qualify for the self-employed deduction (zelfstandigenaftrek), among other things, you need to spend at least 1,225 hours a year on your business. So keep a record of your hours — the Belastingdienst may ask to see it.

As a director-major shareholder (DGA), you have to pay yourself a salary that fits your work: the customary salary. The Belastingdienst applies a minimum amount for this. We help you set the right figure.

Your savings, investments and other assets on 1 January fall under box 3. Above the tax-free allowance (heffingvrij vermogen), you pay tax on a deemed return. We make sure everything is correctly included in your tax return — and check whether the rebuttal scheme (tegenbewijsregeling) works out better for you.

Yes. Tax partners can divide joint items, such as mortgage interest, between them. We choose the split that works out best for the two of you.
