Tax credits

Payroll tax reduction

The payroll tax reduction is a reduction of the wage tax and/or national insurance contributions. The components of this tax credit depend on the form of wages you pay and the employee's age. You may apply the payroll tax reduction solely when the employee has submitted a written request for you to do so. See Obtain the payroll taxes details.

The payroll reduction is taken into account in the wage tax tables. You can check the tables for 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018 and 2017 on the webpage belastingdienst.nl/tabellen (only available in Dutch).
