ABOUT THIS TOOL

How the tax residency check works

What it estimates

Your likely tax residency and how your income may be split between the Netherlands and another country, based on the days you worked in each.

How to read the result

You see an estimate of the tax in each country, a short explanation of the relevant tax treaty and what you need to file where.

Who it's for

Expats and cross-border workers who split their working days between the Netherlands and another country.

Good to know

Residency depends on more than day counts, such as where your home and family are. Use the result as a starting point, not a final answer.

Tax residency questions

Quick answers for cross-border workers.

What is the 183-day rule?

A common treaty rule: if you work in a country for more than 183 days in a period, that country can usually tax your income from that work.

Which countries are supported?

The check covers the countries listed in the tool, including the United Kingdom, Germany, Belgium, France and Ireland.

Can I be a tax resident of two countries?

It can happen. Tax treaties then contain tie-breaker rules to decide which country has the main right to tax you.

Does it work with the 30% ruling?

Yes. You can indicate in the tool that you have the 30% ruling, so it is taken into account in the estimate.
