New to the Netherlands?
Rotterdam's port and international business scene bring plenty of newcomers who freelance or start a business here after moving from abroad. Registering with the KVK (Chamber of Commerce) requires a BSN, and for most non-EU nationals, an in-person appointment. Once you're registered you'll usually receive a VAT (BTW) number automatically, and depending on your expected turnover, you may qualify for the KOR, a small-business scheme that exempts you from charging VAT altogether.
The tax return covering the year you moved to (or from) the Netherlands, known as the M-form, is more complex than a standard return, and if you set up a BV and pay yourself a director's salary, the 30%-ruling may still apply if you qualify as an incoming skilled migrant. We're happy to walk you through what applies to your situation, in plain English.
Freelancers in Rotterdam are in good hands too
Whether you work solo or run a small team, we were built for entrepreneurs who don't want the overhead of a traditional accounting firm. You run your business, we handle your numbers. For a fixed monthly fee, cancel any time.
