New to the Netherlands?
If you moved to The Hague from abroad to freelance or start a business, the Dutch system can feel unfamiliar at first. 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.
