When to file a Dutch Tax Income Return
If one of these bullet points below apply to you, it can be worthwhile or even obligatory to file a Dutch individual income tax return.
Interesting due to possible refund in case
• You entered the Netherlands during the 2024 (or previous years, going back to 2019) and did not file a tax
return;
• You were employed less than 12 months during 2024 (or previous years) in the Netherlands;
• Your healthcare bills are not all reimbursed by the health insurance company (> total exceeds 1,65% of your
gross income);
Obligatory, if:
• You have received a letter from the Dutch tax authority ("de Belastingdienst") with the request to submit a
Dutch income tax return for 2024 (or previous years and did not).
• You own Dutch real estate (for example – your own residence / second home);
• Total amount in savings (bank accounts) and investments exceeds EUR 57,000 on January 1, 2024 (not applicable
in case you have the 30%-ruling which was granted before January 1, 2024);
• Owner of a second home /real estate in home country or elsewhere (not applicable when 30%-ruling);
• You have performed freelance activities or received income from other activities (substantial interest in company).
Please note that the filing deadline to file your 2024 Dutch income tax return is May 1st 2025.
