What happens next

This determines which Dutch Tax Administration registration applies (Melding Loonheffingen Aanmelding werkgever for NL residents, or Aanmelding Onderneming buitenland for non-residents) and which questions below are shown.
Dutch registrations
Director / owner
2 · Business activities
Required for the Dutch Tax Administration registration (ON 071 Section 5) and for sector classification.
Only needed with more than one activity, to determine which activity has the highest estimated wage sum for sector classification.
If there are more than two activities, please add details in the notes field on the last step.
3 · Contact person
The authorised signatory or main contact for this registration.
Tax representative
Please indicate who will act as representative, and include their details in the notes on the final step.
4 · Employees & payroll
e.g. posted employees who remain covered under Dutch social insurance.
Social security & wage tax
Applicable to employees who live and work in the Netherlands, unless an A1 certificate applies.
Generally applies whenever an employee physically performs work in the Netherlands, regardless of where the employer or employee is based. A tax-treaty exemption (the 183-days rule) may apply only if there is no Dutch "economic employer" and the salary cost is not recharged to a Dutch entity. This is separate from the social security question below (A1 certificates affect social security only, not wage tax).
A valid A1 certificate exempts the employer from Dutch social security contributions for those employees.
Monthly is standard for most employers.
The form Melding Loonheffingen overdracht van activiteiten must be filed. TaxGate will handle this.
Staffing arrangements
The following applies when employees work under the management and supervision of a third party. A specific sector classification and the form Melding Loonheffingen uitzenden will apply if any of these are answered Yes.
5 · Corporate tax & VAT
Dutch corporate presence
A permanent establishment (vaste inrichting) may arise if one or more of the following apply. Please answer each question.
Dutch VAT activities
A Dutch VAT registration may be required if any of the following apply.
