TCP is able to employ and payroll contractors of any nationality in the Netherlands. Payroll solutions for contractors will be looked at on an individual basis and tailored to suit the circumstances of each contractor.  Factors to be considered may include the duration of contract, the need for a work permit for non-E.U. nationals and the contractor’s personal circumstances.

All contractors are employed by TCP BV on a Dutch payroll. The contractor becomes an employee of TCP’s Dutch company and pays Dutch wage tax and Social Security. TCP applies, in conjunction with the contractor, to the Dutch authorities for the special 30% ruling.

Three conditions need to be met for the ruling to be granted:

1. that the contractor has the required skill sets, and in most cases a degree or professional qualifications.

2. that his remuneration reflects this

3. that he did not obtain the job whilst either living or working in Holland. If granted the first 30% of income will be exempt from Dutch wage tax. The 30% ruling is valid for up to ten years from the date it is first granted. In this regard it is very beneficial to any potential long-term contractor in The Netherlands as it effectively reduces the top rate of Dutch wage tax to below 37%. TCP is able to give quotations based on individual circumstances. Should the 30% allowance not be granted actual expenses for double housing and travel can be claimed.

Contractors need to obtain a Sofi (N.I.) number before taking up employment in The Netherlands. As part of our service TCP BV will arrange for an appointment for the contractor at the local Labour office and take the contractor to the labour office and assist with the completion of the necessary forms
