Sinds enkele jaren geldt voor een ter beschikking gestelde fiets, de fiets is dus eigendom van u als werkgever, een fiscaal aantrekkelijke regeling. Van de consumentenadviesprijs van de fiets moet u namelijk jaarlijks slechts 7% tot het loon rekenen. Hierover betaalt uw werknemer dan loonheffing.
Voorbeeld
Een (elektrische) fiets van bijvoorbeeld € 2.500 levert jaarlijks een bijtelling op van € 2.500 x 7% = € 175. Hierover betaalt de werknemer in principe loonheffing. Bij een belastingtarief van bijvoorbeeld 35,82% (eerste schijf box 1) komt dit neer op ca. € 62.
U betaalt daarnaast in de meeste gevallen nog premies werknemersverzekeringen van zo’n 20% over het bedrag van de bijtelling. Uiteraard kunt u er ook voor kiezen de bijtelling van de ter beschikking gestelde fiets in de vrije ruimte van de werkkostenregeling (WKR) onder te brengen. In dat geval blijft het voordeel onbelast.
Mag u als werkgever ook de oplaadkosten van een ter beschikking gestelde elektrische fiets belastingvrij vergoeden? Dit is inderdaad mogelijk, want dergelijke kosten worden aangemerkt als intermediaire kosten. Uw werknemer betaalt namelijk kosten die normaal gesproken bij u thuis horen, aangezien de fiets uw eigendom is.
Een ter beschikking gestelde fiets is eigendom van u als werkgever. Betreft het een (elektrische) privéfiets van de werknemer, dan mag u uw werknemer een vergoeding verstrekken van € 0,23 per kilometer voor het woon-werkverkeer.
Bij een elektrische fiets die van de werknemer is, is er geen belastingvrije vergoeding van de oplaadkosten mogelijk. Verstrekt u toch een vergoeding voor deze kosten, dan is het bedrag belast als loon bij uw werknemer. U mag als werkgever deze kosten wel onderbrengen in de vrije ruimte van de WKR.
Let op! Brengt u kosten onder in de vrije ruimte van de WKR, let dan op dat u de vrije ruimte niet overschrijdt.
Tip! Als u de werknemer op de werkplek in de gelegenheid stelt de fiets op te laden, dan hoeft u (op grond van een kennisgroepstandpunt van de Belastingdienst) geen voordeel in aanmerking te nemen. Het voordeel blijft dan onbelast.

Werkgevers kunnen voor een relatief klein bedrag een (elektrische) fiets aan hun personeel ter beschikking stellen. Wat is de eigen bijdrage voor de werknemer? En kunnen ook de kosten van het opladen van een ter beschikking gestelde elektrische fiets belastingvrij vergoed worden?

De arbeidskorting is een korting op de te betalen belasting waarop iemand recht heeft als hij werkt. De hoogte van de korting is onder meer afhankelijk van de hoogte van het arbeidsinkomen en bedraagt in 2025 maximaal € 5.599.
In beginsel bestaat alleen recht op arbeidskorting als iemand werkt. Om die reden kan het UWV op de belasting die geheven wordt op uitkeringen geen arbeidskorting inhouden.
Werkgevers die een (arbeidsongeschiktheids)uitkering betalen aan werknemers kunnen op die uitkering, onder voorwaarden, echter wél arbeidskorting inhouden.
Op 15 november 2024 oordeelde de Hoge Raad dat dit verschil in behandeling in strijd is met het discriminatieverbod.
Om die reden is nu besloten dat een werkgever, net als het UWV, geen arbeidskorting mag toepassen op uitkeringen. Dit besluit heeft gevolgen voor zo’n 11.000 mensen met een uitkering die uitbetaald wordt via een werkgever. Dit betreft voor het grootste deel arbeidsongeschiktheidsuitkeringen.
Om de zo’n 11.000 mensen die het aangaat zo goed mogelijk te informeren over de wijziging gaat deze niet nu al, maar pas vanaf 2027 in.

Mensen die een uitkering krijgen en daarnaast ook voor een werkgever werken, kunnen er vanaf 2027 op achteruitgaan. Vanaf die datum mogen werkgevers die een (arbeidsongeschiktheids)uitkering betalen aan een werknemer daarop namelijk niet langer de arbeidskorting toepassen.

Met de Bedrijfseffectentoets (BET) kan worden nagegaan wat bedoelde en onbedoelde effecten van voorgenomen wet- of regelgeving zijn voor het bedrijfsleven. De BET is een verplichte kwaliteitseis.
Tip! Wilt u meer weten over de BET, kijk dan hier.
De aanscherping, met name gericht op het kleine mkb, bevat onder meer het volgende.
Nieuw is ook dat nieuwe regelgevingsvoorstellen voortaan voorafgaand aan advisering naar het Adviescollege toetsing regeldruk (ATR) worden gestuurd. Dit orgaan adviseert de overheid over het zoveel mogelijk voorkomen van onnodige regeldruk. Het ministerie van Economische Zaken gaat bovendien bevorderen dat de BET zo correct mogelijk wordt ingevuld.
Let op! De aanscherping van de BET betekent ook dat de Nederlandse uitwerking van Europese regelgeving met zo min mogelijk lasten moet worden geïmplementeerd.

Het kabinet gaat zich sterk maken voor minder regeldruk voor het bedrijfsleven. Dit gebeurt onder meer door een aanscherping van de zogenaamde Bedrijfseffectentoets. De aanpassingen zijn met name gericht op kleine ondernemingen.

Uitgangspunt van het wetsvoorstel is dat contant geld toegankelijk moet blijven. Sommige mensen hebben namelijk moeite met het digitale betalingsverkeer, zoals ouderen. Sommigen willen liever sowieso contant betalen, bijvoorbeeld om grip te houden op het budget. Ook bij een storing van pinautomaten is de beschikbaarheid van contant geld van belang.
Om een en ander te realiseren bevat het wetsvoorstel onder meer voor grote banken de plicht om voldoende geldautomaten beschikbaar te stellen. Dit betekent dat de afstand tot een geldautomaat maximaal vijf kilometer mag bedragen. Hierover bestaan al vrijwillige afspraken, maar die blijken onvoldoende.
De wet regelt ook dat geld opnemen voor particulieren gratis moet blijven. Voor ondernemers gaan maximum tarieven gelden voor het opnemen van geld. Ook moeten volgens het wetsvoorstel klanten van banken met minstens 500.000 klanten bankbiljetten kosteloos kunnen storten bij geldautomaten. De geldautomaten van Geldmaat worden hiervoor beschikbaar gesteld.
De Nederlandse Bank gaat volgens deze wet toezicht houden op de naleving ervan.
Let op! De Tweede en Eerste Kamer moeten nog over dit wetsvoorstel stemmen.

Minister Heinen van Financiën heeft de plannen bekendgemaakt om contant geld beschikbaar, bereikbaar en betaalbaar te houden. Het wetsvoorstel Chartaal betalingsverkeer is naar de Tweede Kamer gestuurd.

Wilt u gebruikmaken van de vaste aftrek? Dan gelden de volgende voorwaarden:
Let op! U mag ieder jaar opnieuw beslissen of u de regeling voor gebruik van de vaste aftrek al dan niet gebruikt. Als u gebruikmaakt van de regeling en u voldoet aan alle voorwaarden , hoeft u de verblijfkosten niet aan te tonen.
De regeling geldt ook voor internationale ritten die starten op meer dan 50 kilometer van het woonadres van de ondernemer. Dit geldt ook als deze ritten korter duren dan 24 uur. In dat geval moet u wel voldoen aan de volgende voorwaarden:
U hoeft de regeling voor de vaste aftrek niet toe te passen als de kosten hoger zijn. U kunt dan de werkelijk gemaakte kosten aftrekken, op voorwaarde dat u ze moet kunnen aantonen. U moet er dan wel rekening mee houden dat sommige kosten, zoals maaltijden, beperkt aftrekbaar zijn.
Tip! Houd een goede administratie bij en zorg dat u alle facturen en bonnen heeft.
Let op! De regeling voor de vaste aftrek geldt alleen voor ondernemers waarvan de winst in de inkomstenbelasting belast wordt. Eigen rijders met een bv kunnen hun verblijfkosten onbelast door de bv laten vergoeden volgens de regels die gelden voor werknemers.

Transportondernemers die zelf meerdaagse internationale ritten maken, kunnen onder voorwaarden een vast bedrag aan verblijfkosten van de winst aftrekken. Dit bedrag is voor 2025 ruim 4% hoger vastgesteld. De aftrek komt daarmee op € 50 per dag.

De teruggave van btw geldt voor natuurlijke personen met een woonplaats buiten de EU. Het betreft alleen goederen die zij, anders dan als ondernemer, in hun persoonlijke bagage meenemen naar een land buiten de EU. Daarbij moet de waarde van de op de factuur vermelde goederen minstens € 50 inclusief btw bedragen. De goederen moeten uiterlijk vóór het einde van de derde maand na de maand van aankoop buiten de EU worden gebracht.
Om de btw terug te kunnen krijgen, moet bewezen worden dat de goederen de EU daadwerkelijk hebben verlaten. Daartoe is een factuur vereist, dan wel een kopie ervan of een gelijkwaardig document. Dit document moet bovendien vergezeld gaan van een visum, dat duidelijk maakt dat de goederen de EU daadwerkelijk hebben verlaten. Het visum kan nu ook nog fysiek worden afgegeven, maar vanaf 1 januari 2026 alleen nog digitaal.
Omdat de leverancier pas achteraf het bewijs geleverd krijgt dat de goederen de EU hebben verlaten, zal hij in eerste instantie gewoon btw in rekening brengen. Pas na ontvangst van het bewijs in de vorm van een visum, zal hij de btw terugbetalen aan de niet-EU inwoner.
De leverancier van de goederen die bereid is mee te werken aan de teruggave van btw, zal daartoe de nodige gegevens omtrent de transactie in moeten voeren in een digitale omgeving die door de douane te raadplegen is. Onder meer het nummer van het legitimatiebewijs van de koper van de goederen dient te worden ingevoerd. De koper van de goederen kan de teruggave van de btw verzoeken via een hiertoe beschikbaar gestelde app.

Reizigers van buiten de EU kunnen de btw op goederen die ze mee naar huis nemen onder voorwaarden terugkrijgen. Het proces waarmee dit kan worden bereikt, wordt vanaf 2026 verplicht gedigitaliseerd.

Op dit moment is het nog mogelijk om contractueel af te spreken dat geldvorderingen op naam niet mogen worden gecedeerd (overgedragen) of verpand. In bepaalde sectoren, zoals de bouw- en retailsector, gebeurt dit op grote schaal. Hierdoor kunnen deze vorderingen echter niet ingezet worden als dekking voor kredietverlening of worden overgedragen aan bijvoorbeeld factormaatschappijen.
Door de wetswijziging is het straks niet meer mogelijk om contractueel de overdracht of verpanding van een zakelijke geldvordering op naam te verbieden of beperken. Het is dan dus ook niet meer mogelijk om te bedingen dat overdacht of verpanding alleen aan bepaalde partijen mogelijk is of te bedingen dat overdacht of verpanding alleen mag met instemming van de schuldenaar.
Let op! Het blijft straks wel mogelijk om het vestigen van een vruchtgebruik contractueel te verbieden of te beperken.
Het gaat specifiek om zakelijke geldvorderingen. Dat wil zeggen, geldvorderingen in het reguliere handelsverkeer die in de uitoefening van een beroep of bedrijf zijn ontstaan.
Let op! Geldvorderingen van particulieren die niet handelen in de uitoefening van een beroep of bedrijf vallen niet onder de wetswijziging. Voor deze geldvorderingen blijft het dus mogelijk om contractueel de overdracht of verpanding te verbieden of te beperken.
Voor een aantal specifieke zakelijke geldvorderingen op naam blijft het wel mogelijk om contractueel de overdracht of verpanding te verbieden of beperken. Het gaat daarbij om:
In de wet is nog een andere wijziging opgenomen. De crediteur moet straks de debiteur schriftelijk meedelen dat de geldvordering is overgedragen of verpand. Pas als dat is gebeurd, is de overdracht of verpanding ook effectief richting de debiteur.
De wet treedt in werking op een nog bij koninklijk besluit te bepalen datum. Na inwerkingtreding blijven de bestaande contractuele afspraken nog drie maanden in tact. Pas daarna kan de nietigheid van contractuele verboden of beperkingen van overdrachten en verpandingen worden ingeroepen.

De Wet opheffing verpandingsverboden is aangenomen. Hierdoor is het straks niet meer mogelijk om de overdracht of verpandingen van zakelijke geldvorderingen op naam te verbieden of beperken. De datum van inwerkingtreding van de wet is echter nog niet bekend.

Als er geconcludeerd wordt dat sprake is van een arbeidsovereenkomst betekent dit dat er sprake is van onder meer een verzekeringsplicht voor de werknemersverzekeringen, dat er vakantierechten worden opgebouwd, er ontslagbescherming is, er recht is op loondoorbetaling bij ziekte et cetera. Dat heeft dan dus de nodige consequenties voor de opdrachtgever.
Recentelijk moest de rechtbank Rotterdam hier weer over oordelen. Het ging om een man die werkzaam was als bedrijfsleider bij een restaurant voor gemiddeld 38 uur per week. Daarnaast verrichtte hij ook nog wat andere werkzaamheden, zoals het inwerken van nieuwe medewerkers en het ontplooien van initiatieven om de onderneming nieuw leven in te blazen. Die werkzaamheden waren aangegaan voor de duur van een jaar. Er was een overeenkomst van opdracht aangegaan die alleen door het bedrijf was ondertekend.
Op enig moment wordt hij ervan beschuldigd geld te hebben gestolen. Hij wordt vervolgens op staande voet ontslagen. De man verzoekt daarna om betaling van een transitievergoeding, een gefixeerde schadevergoeding en een billijke vergoeding.
De vraag wordt interessant of sprake is van een arbeidsovereenkomst of overeenkomst van opdracht. Daarvoor loopt de kantonrechter de gezichtspunten langs die de Hoge Raad in het Deliveroo-arrest heeft gegeven:
De rechter oordeelt dat de werkgever bedrijfskleding verstrekte en de werktijden bepaalde en dat de werkzaamheden waren ingebed in de organisatie. Niet afgesproken was dat hij het werk persoonlijk moest verrichten. Ook over het opnemen van verlof was niets geregeld. De man had de wens om samen te werken op basis van een overeenkomst van opdracht en had een modelovereenkomst aangeleverd bij de organisatie. Er was niet afgesproken dat hij zich niet mocht laten vervangen. Door de man werd wekelijks gefactureerd op basis van een afgesproken uurtarief van € 30 per uur dat hij vermeerderde met 21% btw. Niet is gesteld dat de man als werknemer een zelfde beloning zou hebben gekregen. In de door de man toegezonden modelovereenkomst stond dat hij een beroepsaansprakelijkheidsverzekering had. Ter zitting heeft de man bevestigd dat hij deze verzekering had en heeft. Verder bleek dat hij al vanaf 2017 als eenmanszaak stond ingeschreven bij de KVK . Hij wisselde het werken in loondienst af met het werken als zzp’er.
Dit alles bracht de kantonrechter tot het oordeel dat er in deze zaak geen sprake is van een arbeidsovereenkomst.

De vraag of er sprake is van een arbeidsovereenkomst tussen een opdrachtnemer en opdrachtgever of niet houdt de gemoederen flink bezig. In het Deliveroo-arrest sprak de Hoge Raad zich uit over de vraag wanneer sprake is van een arbeidsovereenkomst en stelde een aantal gezichtspunten hiervoor vast.

Als een dga bij zijn bv een schuld heeft, betekent het hanteren van zakelijke voorwaarden dat vrijwel dezelfde voorwaarden moeten worden gehanteerd als de voorwaarden die voor andere schuldenaren gelden. Zo zal er onder andere een reële rente moeten worden afgesproken en zal duidelijk moeten zijn hoe de schuld zal worden afgelost.
Let op! Leg alle (zakelijke) afspraken bij een lening aan de bv schriftelijk vast en controleer regelmatig of partijen zich aan de afspraken houden.
Net zoals bij andere schuldenaren kan het voorkomen dat een schuld van een dga bij zijn eigen bv onmogelijk kan worden afgelost. De bv kan er dan voor kiezen de schuld af te waarderen en het verlies voor zijn rekening te nemen. In een rechtszaak die speelde bij rechtbank Zeeland-West-Brabant kwam aan de orde aan welke voorwaarden dan voldaan moet worden.
In genoemde zaak had een bv een rekening-courantschuld van ruim € 1 miljoen van de dga afgewaardeerd. Volgens de dga was er sprake van zakelijk handelen en dus had hij hierover in zijn aangifte niets vermeld. De inspecteur was het hiermee niet eens en vond dat de aandeelhoudersmotieven overheersten. Hij ging uit van een winstuitdeling en vorderde de hierover verschuldigde belasting na. Hierna kwam de zaak voor de rechter.
Voor de rechtbank bleek dat er door de bv geen onderzoek was gedaan naar de terugbetalingscapaciteit van de dga. Hierover waren dan ook geen stukken aanwezig. De adviseur van de dga voerde weliswaar aan dat er gekeken was naar de privévermogenspositie van de dga, maar dit vond de rechtbank onvoldoende. Ook de verdiencapaciteit van de dga was niet betrokken bij de afweging om de schuld kwijt te schelden.
De dga voerde nog aan dat de inspecteur onderzoek had moeten doen naar het zakelijke karakter van de kwijtgescholden schuld, maar de rechtbank was het hiermee niet eens en liet de navordering dan ook in stand.

Als dga is het mogelijk om een lening aan te gaan bij de eigen bv. Daarbij is onder meer van belang dat zakelijke voorwaarden worden toegepast. Dit is ook van belang als een dergelijke schuld moet worden kwijtgescholden.

Please note! Due to significant uncertainty as to whether the government’s plans will be approved by the House of Representatives and the Senate, some of the tips below may still change (in part) before the end of the year. Please bear this in mind!
Should you pay a dividend this year, or would it be better to wait until 2026? There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question. In any case, be sure to take the following points into consideration:
Please note! Discuss your own situation with our advisers. They can calculate the effect of the dividend payment on, for example, your tax credits and your tax liability in Box 3. Based on this, you can decide whether or not to pay out a dividend. At present, the advice is to wait for the time being until there is a little more clarity on which tax plans will ultimately be passed by the House of Representatives and the Senate.
The measure concerning excessive borrowing from one’s own company broadly means that a director and major shareholder who borrows too much from their own private limited company will pay Box 2 tax on this amount. A threshold of €500,000 currently applies, but the government intends to lower this limit to €100,000. This will be implemented in five stages of €80,000 per year, starting in 2027. By the end of 2027, the threshold will stand at €420,000, and by the end of 2031, the €100,000 limit will have been reached. Although the measure still needs to be passed by the House of Representatives and the Senate, it may well be wise to factor the reduction in the threshold into your dividend planning.
Please note! As is currently the case, home loan debts remain exempt under the proposal and will therefore not count towards the threshold from 2027 onwards. However, for home loan debts incurred on or after 1 January 2023, the condition applies that these must be secured by a mortgage registered against the property.
From 2027, a 12% pseudo-final levy will apply to company cars if these vehicles emit CO₂ (hereinafter: fossil-fuelled company cars). This levy is calculated on the basis of the car’s list price (and, for cars older than 25 years, on the basis of its market value). This is an employer’s levy that you are not permitted to pass on to the employee! Furthermore, the employee may also be liable for the additional tax liability relating to private use.
So what can you still do now to avoid this levy in 2027?
Any vehicle that is not a passenger car, such as a van, lorry or tractor, is also exempt from the 12% pseudo-final levy. Please note, however, that a campervan and a minibus may also be classified as passenger cars. Check the classification in the vehicle registration register. An M1 vehicle is a passenger car!
Please note! When changing employers, the transitional arrangement – which normally runs until 31 December 2030 – ceases to apply. This is because the transitional arrangement is linked to the car in combination with the employer. If a former employee takes the car with them to a new employer, that link is broken and the transitional arrangement lapses. The new employer will then be subject to the 12% pseudo-final levy from day one.
There are still a number of exceptions to the 12% pseudo-final levy. For example, under certain conditions, a replacement car is exempt from the levy for up to fourteen consecutive days, and manual-gearbox driving school cars are also exempt.
There may be various reasons for setting up a private limited company in 2026 and transferring your income tax business into it. One reason could be that you were already planning to do this and also wish to transfer a fossil-fuelled passenger car into the company:
If you contribute the income tax business to the private limited company in 2026 with a tax settlement, you can still benefit from the cessation allowance of €3,630. In 2027, this allowance will fall to €908. If you still have a FOR that is due to be released, you can also make use of the cessation allowance in the event of a silent contribution.
Furthermore, a number of the entrepreneur’s income tax benefits will be further scaled back. For example, the self-employed person’s allowance will fall from €1,200 in 2026 to €900 in 2027; the additional self-employed person’s allowance for a start-up will fall from €2,123 in 2026 to €10 in 2027; and the family business allowance will be reduced by 75% in 2027.
This may also be a reason to switch to a private limited company (BV) in 2026.
Please note! Whether it is advantageous to transfer your income tax-registered business into a private limited company naturally depends not only on the 12% pseudo-final levy, the cessation allowance and other business tax deductions. In addition to tax considerations, other factors, such as limited liability, may also play a role. You should therefore consult our advisers to determine whether switching to a private limited company might be advisable. Do not wait too long to do so. You will need a solicitor to set up a private limited company, and solicitors’ diaries generally fill up quickly towards the end of the year.
From 2027, a new authorisation scheme will come into force for parties that supply workers (labour providers). This is regulated by the Labour Supply Authorisation Act (Wtta).
The licensing scheme applies to anyone who makes workers (including self-employed persons) available to third parties. This includes temporary employment agencies, secondment agencies and agencies that supply self-employed persons. However, even a private limited company that supplies its director-major shareholder to another company may fall under the licensing scheme!
Fortunately, there are exceptions. For example, peer-to-peer lending where no profit is made is not subject to the authorisation scheme. The same applies to lending and borrowing within a group of companies.
If no exception applies, you may be able to apply for an exemption. This is possible if your income from lending services in a given year amounts to less than 10 per cent of your total income and that income does not exceed €5 million per year. In addition, an accountant must certify annually that these thresholds are not exceeded.
Please note! To be able to make use of a transitional arrangement, it is important that you submit an application between 1 November 2026 and 31 December 2026! This will ensure that you can continue to lend for the time being. It is, however, important that you also submit an application for admission to the scheme between 1 May 2027 and 30 June 2027. If you have an SNA quality mark by 30 June 2027 at the latest, you do not need to register for the transitional scheme in 2026. You will, however, still need to apply for admission between 1 May 2027 and 30 June 2027.
A property that is not your main residence – for example, a holiday home or a property you let out – falls under Box 3. If you are planning to purchase such a property, it may be advantageous to have the transfer at the solicitor’s take place in 2027 rather than in 2026.
This is because the transfer tax on the acquisition of properties that are not your main residence is currently still 8 per cent, but will be 7 per cent from 2027 onwards. Furthermore, the flat-rate Box 3 tax on bank balances (should you purchase the property using bank balances) is considerably lower than that applied to the property itself, which is classified as other assets.
For a new, fully electric car made available in 2026, an additional tax liability of 18 per cent applies to the first €30,000 of the list price and 22 per cent on the amount above that. If the new, fully electric car is first made available in 2027, the additional tax liability will be 20 per cent on the first €30,000 of the list price and 22 per cent on the amount above that. If the car runs on hydrogen or is powered by solar panels, the €30,000 limit does not apply and the additional tax liability in 2026 will be 18 per cent of the full list price, and in 2027 20 per cent of the full list price. These additional tax rates apply for a period of 60 months. This may be a reason to try to acquire a car with zero CO₂ emissions in 2026, or failing that, in 2027.
If your car with CO₂ emissions falls under the ‘youngtimer’ scheme, the additional tax liability will not be 22 per cent (or 25 per cent for a car first registered before 2017) of the list price, but 35 per cent of the market value. The ‘youngtimer’ scheme will apply in 2026 if the car is 16 years old or older on 1 January 2026, or if it was already at your disposal in 2025 and turns 16 in 2026. From 1 January 2027, the age limit is likely to rise to 17 years (it is currently 25 years) and from 1 January 2028 to 20 years. Do you drive the ‘youngtimer’ through your income tax business, such as a sole trader? If so, you may wish to transfer the car to your private name. Normally, this isn’t possible without further ado, but due to the legislative change, there may be options available. Please discuss this with our advisers.
Check whether you have any remaining allowance under the work-related expenses scheme (wkr) and make use of it. In 2026, this allowance amounts to 2 per cent of the first €400,000 of the wage bill and 1.18 per cent above that amount. Any allowance remaining in 2026 cannot be carried forward to 2027!
Incidentally, the allowance will increase slightly in 2027. It will then amount to 2.16% on the first €400,000 of the wage bill and 1.18% on the amount above that.
Please note! The targeted exemption for staff discounts on sector-specific products will be abolished from 2027. Therefore, only in 2026 will you still be able to grant a targeted exemption for a reimbursement or discount of up to 20 per cent of the product’s market value, with a maximum of €500 per employee per year.
A new, attractive scheme for share options at start-ups and scale-ups is due to come into force, probably from 2027. Under the new scheme, 35% of the benefit (= the difference between the proceeds from the sale of the shares on the one hand and the contribution and purchase price of the shares on the other) remains tax-free. Furthermore, the employee only pays tax upon the sale of the shares acquired through the share options.
Various conditions apply, and the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) must classify your company as an innovative start-up or scale-up. What is important for now is that share option rights granted on or after 17 April 2025 may be eligible for the new scheme. It is therefore important that these share option rights have not yet been included in payroll tax as at 31 December 2026. In any case, ensure that share option rights granted on or after 17 April 2025 meet this requirement.

As an entrepreneur, director and major shareholder, employer or private individual in the Netherlands, what can or must you sort out before the end of 2026? Or what should you actually wait to do? What changes are coming into effect in 2027 that you can already prepare for now? We’ve put together a few important tips for you.

Please note! Not all the points listed below are taken from the 2027 Tax Plan. Some changes had already been decided upon, but adjustments have since been made to them.
From 2027, the government will be scaling back various tax benefits for entrepreneurs.
The entrepreneur’s allowance reduces the profit on which an entrepreneur pays income tax. From 2027, further cuts will apply to various components of this allowance.
Please note! This scheme applies to self-employed people who do not meet the 1,225-hour criterion but do meet the reduced 800-hour criterion and are entitled to incapacity benefit.
The cessation allowance and the rates for the co-worker allowance will cease to apply at the start of the third calendar year following the year in which the reduction takes effect. As the changes come into force in 2027, the schemes will therefore cease to apply on 1 January 2030.
As of 1 January 2028, another tax benefit for business owners will be abolished: the discretionary depreciation scheme for start-ups.
Start-up business owners, those planning to cease trading within a few years, and business owners with a co-working partner will be particularly affected. The choice between a sole trader, a general partnership (VOF) or a private limited company (BV) therefore once again requires a calculation based on actual profits and personal circumstances.
Please note!If there are significant changes to your profits, business partnerships or business succession, have a fresh assessment carried out to determine which legal form is best suited to your business.
Tip! Due to the higher aggregate income, benefits may also change. You should therefore check your estimated income for benefit purposes in good time for 2027 and 2028.
Employers may, with retroactive effect up to and including 1 January 2026, reimburse a maximum of €0.25 per business kilometre tax-free. This was previously €0.23. The increase also applies to commuting. The government is now enshrining this increase in law with retroactive effect.
Please note!The increase does not automatically mean that every employee is entitled to €0.25 per kilometre. This depends on the employment contract, the collective labour agreement and the employer’s own mobility policy. For employers, a higher allowance may lead to higher wage costs.
The discretionary allowance on the first €400,000 of the taxable wage bill will increase from 2% to 2.16% with effect from 1 January 2027. This will give you a maximum of €640 extra discretionary allowance per year. This increase was adopted earlier and is therefore not part of the 2027 Tax Plan.
Tip! Update your staff handbook, expense claim policy and payroll administration in good time, and assess whether a higher mileage allowance is desirable from both a financial and employment conditions perspective. Does your organisation offer staff discounts on sector-specific products? If so, consider what the end of this exemption will mean. This will mainly affect the retail and manufacturing sectors.
If, as an employer, you make a passenger car with emissions available to an employee for private use from 2027 onwards, you will be subject to a pseudo-final levy of 12 per cent of the list price. This levy is in addition to the employee’s additional tax liability and must not be passed on to the employee. Transitional provisions apply to cars made available before 1 January 2027.
The pseudo-final levy was already adopted last year, but following consultation, four amendments are being proposed.
The ‘youngtimer’ scheme will be scaled back more gradually than previously stipulated, and the changes will be less far-reaching. The additional tax liability will continue to be based on the market value, but the age limit will rise from 16 years to 17 years in 2027 and to 20 years from 2028 onwards. The previously planned rapid increase to 25 years from 2027 will therefore not go ahead.
Transitional provisions apply to cars that have already been made available by 31 December 2025 at the latest and which will be 17 years old in 2027. These cars may continue to benefit from the youngtimer scheme throughout 2027. From 1 January 2028, the scheme will only apply to cars older than 20 years.
For employers, the decision to provide a company car is becoming increasingly important, particularly due to the ‘pseudo-final levy’. The contract term, drive type and the date on which a car is first made available can have significant tax implications. As a result, an existing lease plan may turn out to be much more expensive or, conversely, much more attractive.
Tip! Before making any new leasing decisions, carefully assess the total employer costs, the employee’s additional tax liability, the lease term and the transitional tax rules.
Normally, the thresholds for tax bands and various tax credits in Box 1 rise in line with inflation. This means that the tax burden normally remains the same as income rises, in line with inflation.
In 2027 and 2028, the government will apply the inflation adjustment only partially. Without this measure, the inflation adjustment for 2027 would amount to 2.6 per cent. Of this, 48 per cent will be applied. As a result, tax band thresholds and tax credits will rise less in line with inflation. Incidentally, the 48 per cent is not applied to the second tax bracket threshold, which therefore remains the same in 2027 as in 2026. The first tax bracket threshold rises from €38,883 to €39,247. The second tax bracket threshold remains at €78,426.
At the same time, the Box 1 rates are changing. For taxpayers under the state pension age, the rate in the first tax bracket will rise by 0.48 per cent: from 35.75 per cent in 2026 to 36.23 per cent in 2027. The rate in the second tax bracket will rise by 0.60 per cent: from 37.56 per cent to 38.16 per cent. The rate in the third tax bracket remains at 49.50 per cent.
Due to the increase in rates and limited indexation, the tax burden in Box 1 will rise. This effect is mitigated for homeowners who can also deduct their mortgage interest at the higher rate of up to 38.16%.
Please note! Always assess your salary, dividends and profits in conjunction with one another. The tax burden may in fact be unexpectedly higher, as the general tax credit depends on your aggregate income. This may therefore also fall as a result of a dividend payment.
Box 3 taxes private assets, such as savings, investments and a second home. Under the current system, the tax authorities calculate the return largely using flat-rate figures. If your actual return is lower, you can provide evidence to the contrary, subject to certain conditions.
The Government has provisionally deferred consideration of the ‘Actual Return on Box 3’ Bill. It will present a new proposal in the 2027 Spring Memorandum. Consequently, the intended introduction on 1 January 2028 will not take place, or at the very least, this date remains uncertain. The Government is re-examining whether a capital gains tax would be more appropriate than a capital appreciation tax.
Under a capital appreciation tax, even an unrealised increase in value is taken into account annually. Under a capital gains tax, tax is only levied upon, for example, the sale of an asset. For entrepreneurs and directors/major shareholders with investments, let property or other assets that are difficult to sell, this makes a significant difference.
Please note!Until a new system comes into force, it remains important to keep accurate records of interest, dividends, rent, costs and changes in value. This information is required for the rebuttal scheme and for weighing up whether to invest privately or through a private limited company.
Tip! Do not wait for the new system. Record the actual return on each asset annually and retain the supporting documents.
The government is making various tax schemes for investment and innovation more attractive. For example, the energy investment allowance will rise from 40% to 45.5% with effect from 1 January 2027. Are you investing in qualifying energy-efficient business assets? If so, you’ll be able to deduct a larger portion of your investment from your profits.
The tax relief for research and development work is also being extended. The flat-rate hourly wage will rise from €29 to €33. This scheme reduces the payroll tax you, as an employer, pay when your employees are working on technically new products, processes or software.
Does your business make use of the innovation box? This scheme is also being made more attractive. From 1 January 2027, the maximum flat-rate amount will rise from €25,000 to €100,000 per year. The flat rate remains capped at 25% of profit. The current three-year application period will also remain unchanged. This allows you to have a larger proportion of your profit taxed at the lower Innovation Box rate.
Tip! Do you wish to make use of the energy investment allowance? Before entering into any commitments, check whether the business asset is included on the energy list. Then submit your application to RVO within the applicable three-month deadline.
To stimulate innovation and growth in specific young enterprises, the government is introducing an attractive tax scheme for employee share options at start-ups and scale-ups.
In principle, the employee pays tax when they actually sell the shares acquired through the options. After deducting the exercise price attributable to the shares, only 65 per cent of the benefit is taxed as income, subject to certain conditions. If the employee sells the share option right rather than the shares themselves, this lower tax base does not apply. The employee may also opt in writing for earlier taxation at the time the option right is exercised or as soon as the shares become tradable.
The scheme applies only to companies that qualify as start-ups or scale-ups and hold a decision from RVO. This decision is valid for eight years from the date of issue. Subject to certain conditions, you may extend the decision in five-year increments, up to a maximum total duration of 23 years. In addition, in principle, there must be a minimum period of two years between the grant of the share option and the sale of that option or the shares resulting from it. If the employee sells earlier due to a sale following the company’s initial public offering (IPO), an exception applies and the rule does apply.
The scheme is due to come into force on 1 January 2027. The definitive date of entry into force will be determined by Royal Decree. Share option rights granted on or after 17 April 2025 may also be eligible for the scheme. For this to apply, the share option rights must not yet have been included in payroll tax as at 31 December 2026, and the other conditions must be met. In that case, your company must apply to the RVO for the decision by 31 December 2027 at the latest.
Tip! Check in good time whether your company is eligible for an RVO decision. Also consider whether employee participation can help you attract, reward and retain talent.
Employers must also pay a so-called ‘freedom contribution’ to fund rising defence expenditure. The government intends to collect most of this additional burden through an increase in the contribution to the Disability Fund (Aof). According to estimates, this increase will generate €1.5 billion in additional contribution revenue in 2027. From 2028 onwards, this will amount to €1.7 billion per year on a structural basis.
The high and low Aof contribution rates have not yet been finalised. The contribution rates will be announced at a later date, alongside the annual contribution rates for employees’ insurance schemes. As a result, it is not yet clear exactly how much your employer’s contributions will increase.
Tip! Allow for higher employer’s contributions in your 2027 staff budget. Adjust your payroll cost calculations as soon as the high and low AOF contribution rates for 2027 have been officially set.
Are you buying a property in which you will not be living yourself on a long-term basis? If so, you will pay transfer tax at the standard residential rate. This applies, for example, to a let property or a holiday home. From 1 January 2027, this rate will fall from 8% to 7%. The 2% rate for a property in which you will be living yourself and the first-time buyer’s exemption remain unchanged.
Please note! This reduction does not apply to commercial premises. In the case of mixed-use properties, conversions and property development projects, there may be some debate as to which part qualifies as a residential property. The use and condition of the property at the time of acquisition play an important role in this regard.
Due to the rate reduction, it may be worth reconsidering the timing of the transaction. You should also take other factors into account, such as financing, return on investment, VAT and the legal structure.
Tip! Before signing the purchase agreement, have an assessment carried out to determine which rate applies to your situation. In doing so, investigate whether it is sensible and feasible to postpone the transfer of title at the solicitor’s office until after 1 January 2027.
Certain non-reimbursed healthcare costs are currently tax-deductible under specific conditions. These include specific medicines, medical aids, dietary costs, transport and additional family care. The relief only applies after any reimbursements and an income-related threshold have been taken into account.
The Government is abolishing the deduction for specific healthcare costs with effect from 1 January 2028. The associated scheme for reimbursement of specific healthcare costs, the TSZ scheme, will also be abolished. For people with a chronic illness, the Government is working on a targeted compensation scheme. The bill does not include any transitional provisions. The measure primarily affects people with a chronic illness, a disability or structurally high, non-reimbursed healthcare costs. Entrepreneurs and directors/major shareholders may also face higher net personal tax liabilities as a result. The financial impact varies greatly, as not every out-of-pocket healthcare expense is currently tax-deductible.
Tip! Make a list of your recurring deductible healthcare costs. This will show which tax benefits may be lost from 2028 onwards and to what extent a future compensation scheme will cover them.

What tax proposals for entrepreneurs did the Dutch Government announce on Prince’s Day 2026? We have listed ten key proposals for you.

The entrepreneur’s allowance comprises the self-employed person’s allowance (in Dutch: zelfstandigenaftrek), the allowance for research and development (in Dutch: aftrek voor speur- en ontwikkelingswerk), the co-worker’s allowance (in Dutch: meewerkaftrek), the start-up allowance in the event of incapacity for work (in Dutch: startersaftrek bij arbeidsongeschiktheid), and the cessation allowance (in Dutch: stakingsaftrek). These allowances may be deducted from business profits for the purposes of income tax.
Foreign taxpayers are taxed in the Netherlands to the extent that they receive Dutch income. Dutch income includes, amongst other things, the profit generated by a foreign entrepreneur’s permanent establishment in the Netherlands. The question is whether the entrepreneur’s allowance may be deducted in full from the profit of this permanent establishment or whether a different allocation must be made?
For the portion of the foreign entrepreneur’s profit that is taxable in the Netherlands, the letter of the law first requires the global profit to be determined, i.e. the foreign entrepreneur’s total profit, including profit earned outside the Netherlands. The Tax and Customs Administration states that the entrepreneur’s allowance and the SME profit exemption (in Dutch: mkb-winstvrijstelling)are deducted in full from these worldwide profits. The profit taxable in the Netherlands is that part of the worldwide profit, after deduction of the entrepreneur’s allowance and the SME profit exemption, which is attributable to the Dutch permanent establishment.
The business allowance is therefore not deducted in full from the profits of the permanent establishment, but in proportion to the ratio of Dutch profits to total worldwide profits.
The Tax and Customs Administration states that the portion of the SME profit exemption that may be charged against the profit taxable in the Netherlands must be determined in the same way as for the entrepreneur’s allowance.
Please note! According to the Tax and Customs Administration, the fact that the entrepreneur’s allowance and the SME profit exemption must be determined in the manner described above also follows from a 2010 ruling by the Supreme Court (in Dutch: Hoge Raad).

The Tax and Customs Administration has provided an answer to the question of whether an entrepreneur residing abroad is entitled to deduct the full business allowance (in Dutch: ondernemersaftrek) from their Dutch profits.

In principle, the Tax and Customs Administration has eight weeks to process your VAT refund claim. If this takes longer, you are entitled to compensation for tax interest provided that the VAT refund relates to a previous year and 1 April has already passed.
Example
The Tax and Customs Administration receives your request for a VAT refund for the fourth quarter of 2025 on 20 January 2026. If you have not yet received a refund decision from the Tax and Customs Administration by 1 April 2026, you are entitled to compensation for tax interest from 1 April 2026.
The period over which tax interest is calculated begins on 1 April or eight weeks after receipt of your claim (if this is later than 1 April). The period runs until fourteen days after the date of the refund decision.
Continuation of example
If the Tax and Customs Administration issues a refund decision dated 15 June 2026, it must reimburse 5% tax interest for the period from 1 April 2026 up to and including 29 June 2026.
Has the Tax and Customs Administration wrongly rejected your VAT refund claim? If so, you must lodge an objection in good time, i.e. within six weeks of the date of the rejection notice. If the Tax and Customs Administration subsequently grants the VAT refund, you are also entitled to reimbursement of tax interest.
Please note! In response to enquiries on this matter, the Tax and Customs Administration has stated that there is no entitlement to reimbursement of tax interest if the original application for a VAT refund was submitted too late and/or if the appeal against the rejection notice was lodged too late.

Have you applied for a VAT refund and is the processing taking a long time? If so, you may be entitled to compensation for tax interest.

It is laid down in law that taxpayers have the right to inspect their own tax files held by the Tax and Customs Administration. In the letter, the State Secretary sets out how the implementation of this right of access to tax files will take shape in the coming years, what the intended timetable is and what exceptions will be made to the right of access.
At present, the Tax and Customs Administration does not yet have a centralised file system: the information in the tax file remains highly fragmented across dozens of unlinked systems. To facilitate the right of access to tax files, the Tax and Customs Administration will therefore need to implement a change in its working methods. The aim is to achieve a structured, externally oriented and accessible filing system, according to the State Secretary. The documents in the tax file will be made available digitally in stages over the coming years.
Under the ‘Keuze digitaal’ programme currently being implemented within the Tax and Customs Administration, decisions, invitations, reminders and submitted documents will gradually become available on MijnBelastingdienst (Business) by 2030. This will later be expanded to include standard letters and automated messages, followed by information from individual files, for example regarding the processing of a tax return.
The letter also sets out a provisional timetable, which includes the planned introduction of the right of access to tax records:
For Customs, the right of tax inspection would only apply to excise duties and consumption taxes. However, the State Secretary is excluding these levies from the right of tax inspection. The State Secretary points out that this does not mean that Customs is not committed to further improving the information position and legal protection of taxpayers.

In a letter to the House of Representatives, the State Secretary for Finance has outlined the current situation regarding the introduction of the right of access to tax records. This right of access will be introduced in phases.

The introduction of the legal presumption does not mean that every contractor working at an hourly rate below €38 is automatically employed by the company. It does, however, mean that the presumption of an employment relationship is accepted. The contractor may rely on this presumption, but the company has the option to demonstrate that no employment contract exists.
If the company fails to prove this, the contractor is entitled to all the protection afforded by employment law. This includes continued payment during holidays and sick leave, and protection against dismissal
The contractor may rely on the legal presumption, but it has effect only under civil law. This means that the UWV, the Tax and Customs Administration and the Labour Inspectorate will not assess this legal presumption. They will continue to carry out their own investigations based on the elements of work, pay and a relationship of authority.
The legal presumption will come into force immediately on 31 December 2026. Do you have a contractor who is already carrying out work for you before 31 December 2026 at an hourly rate of less than €38? And will that contractor still be doing so from 31 December 2026 onwards? If so, from 31 December 2026 there will be a presumption that this contractor is employed by you.

The legal presumption of an employment contract for an hourly rate below €38 will come into force on 31 December 2026. What does this mean for you as a client or company?

If you owe taxes, you will receive a notice from the Tax and Customs Administration. The new account number will be included in the notice regarding the taxes due.
Please note!The new account number does not affect the payment method. For example, online payments will still be possible.
If you pay the Tax and Customs Administration periodically via direct debit, you do not need to do anything. The payments will be automatically transferred to the new account number.
You only need to be careful if you have arranged a recurring payment differently, for example via a recurring transfer with your bank. In that case, you must ensure that the account number is updated yourself.
If you accidentally use the “old” account number for a payment to the Tax Authority, your payment will still be forwarded to the Tax Authority and processed there for the time being. The Tax Authority has made arrangements with ING regarding this, so that taxpayers are not penalized.
To pay a provisional or final income tax assessment, you can use the new account number starting April 20, 2026.
The Benefits Service is also switching to Rabobank and will therefore have a new account number starting May 1, 2026. From that date, you can make payments to the Benefits Service using the new account number NL04 RABO 0200112244. The Benefits Service will make its first payments from this number on Monday, June 22, 2026.
Please note! Here too, if you make a payment to the old account number, the payment will be forwarded to the Tax and Customs Administration’s new account number for the time being.
Due to the change in account numbers, the Tax and Customs Administration strongly warns against phishing. Criminals regularly attempt to collect non-existent tax debts from taxpayers via email, text message, WhatsApp, or by phone. However, the Tax and Customs Administration never collects taxes in this manner. If you are unsure whether a message is genuine, follow the step-by-step guide on the Tax and Customs Administration’s website and verify the account number.

As of May 1, 2026, the Dutch Tax and Customs Administration and the Benefits Service will switch from ING to Rabobank. This means that the account numbers will also change.

For businesses that buy or sell goods, cash payments of €3,000 or more will no longer be permitted starting January 1, 2026. It does not matter whether the business is buying from or selling to another business or to a private individual. In all cases, cash payments of €3,000 or more are prohibited.
Please note! A private individual may accept a cash payment exceeding €3,000 from another private individual, for example, when selling on a marketplace.
The €3,000 limit is intended to make it more difficult to launder cash derived from illegal transactions and thereby also combat terrorism. The limit is also intended to ensure that payment transactions remain accessible.
The fine for violating the ban is set at a fixed base amount of €10,000. The Wwft Supervision Bureau, a division of the Tax and Customs Administration, oversees compliance with the ban.
Special circumstances, such as financial capacity, may justify reducing the fine. On the other hand, repeated violations of the prohibition may justify increasing the fine. For example, a fine of €20,000 may be imposed if the prohibition is violated again within five years of a previous fine.
Please note! Criminal proceedings may also be initiated under the Economic Offenses Act.

Starting January 1, 2026, Dutch merchants may no longer make or accept cash payments of €3,000 or more. The base amount of the fine for violating this prohibition is a fixed amount of €10,000.

It is particularly common among migrant workers for employers to provide accommodation and deduct an amount from the employee's wages for this. In the case of the minimum wage, this deduction may still be a maximum of 25% of that wage in 2025.
The government believes that the deduction can encourage a model of earning and dependence on the employee. This can lead to the exploitation of migrant workers. The government therefore wants to abolish the scheme.
The proposal is to reduce the deduction by 5% per year from 2026 and to completely abolish the possibility of deducting housing costs from the statutory minimum wage from 2030.
| Year | Maximum deduction percentage |
| 2025 | 25 |
| 2026 | 20 |
| 2027 | 15 |
| 2028 | 10 |
| 2029 | 5 |
| 2030 | 0 |
Tip! Employers will still be allowed to provide housing for their employees from 2030 onwards. However, it will no longer be possible to deduct part of the costs from the statutory minimum wage.
The proposal has been submitted for internet consultation. Responses to the proposal can be submitted until June 6, 2025.

In the Netherlands in 2025, employers will be allowed to deduct a maximum of 25% of the minimum wage from an employee's statutory minimum wage to cover the costs of housing. The proposal off the Dutch government is to reduce this percentage by 5% annually from 2026 to 2029.
