Dutch Wage Withholding Tax
The Dutch Tax Authorities must be informed when staff is hired from an entrepreneur. After the registration of staff members, a payroll number, tax return letter, and information letters with the relevant sector and the corresponding percentage of the differentiated premium will be forwarded to you. When you start paying wages, wage tax and national insurance contributions must be deducted from it (Dutch Wage Withholding Tax). As an employer, you must withhold wage tax and premiums and transfer them to the Dutch Tax Authority. The payroll tax consists of:
- Wage tax and national insurance contributions (social insurance contributions to the General Old Age Pensions Act) are collectively referred to as wage withholding tax. This is based on a disk system.
- Employee insurance premiums-social premium (social premium Unemployment Act, Income according to Labor Capacity Act).
- Income-related contribution to the Health Insurance Act.
