What provisional assessments can I apply for as a non-resident taxpayer?

It depends on your personal situation:

  • You are a qualifying non-resident taxpayer
    You live in an EU country, in Liechtenstein, Norway, Iceland, Switzerland, on Bonaire, Sint Eustatius or Saba, and pay tax in the Netherlands on 90% or more of your total income.

    Deductions and tax credits

    You have the same deductions and tax credits (Dutch only) as a resident of the Netherlands.

    Tax partner

    Your partner for tax purposes may, under certain conditions, apply for a provisional assessment to have (part of) the following tax credits paid out:

    • general tax credit
    • employed person’s tax credit
    • life-course leave tax credit
    • income-related combination tax credit

    The following conditions apply:

    • You have the same tax partner for more than 6 months.
    • You pay sufficient taxes and possibly national insurance contributions in the Netherlands to have the tax credits paid.
