How can we help you?

Expat tax services

As an employer of expats, there's an awful lot to consider. What are the tax advantages and disadvantages? Does the employee qualify for the 30% ruling? What about severance pay? At Courdid, we live and breathe expatriate tax, so we can give you complete insight, overview and clarity. Everything to help you make the right choices in complex-looking tax situations.

Internationally operating employees help you seize opportunities, but not without presenting a few challenges too. That’s especially true when it concerns payroll obligations, remitting social insurance premiums and making different remuneration arrangements in another country because a 'tax equalisation policy' exists. There’s also the reassurance of a full international tax audit that you need to give the expat. Expat situations can be complex, and the international consequences shouldn’t be overlooked. Fortunately, Courdid uses clear language, supplies practical solutions, and is always prepared to go the extra mile.

30% ruling

Much like most, we don't like to pay too much and want to have – and eat – the absolute most of the financial cake, for example by applying the 30% ruling. This lets you reimburse 30% of the wage – tax-free. No need to tell us that twice!

If, as an employer, you recruit an employee from outside the Netherlands who will become liable for tax in the Netherlands, certain additional costs (the extraterritorial costs) can be reimbursed free of tax. Instead of reimbursing the actual extraterritorial costs, you can, on conditions, reimburse at most 30% of the wage tax-free. This does not require you to actually incur any costs. Courdid will quickly and efficiently arrange the applications with the Dutch Tax Authorities. For more information please take a look at the video below and contact us, we will gladly make you a keen offer. 

Expat payroll

Salary administration and expat payrolling for national and international organisations. We're crazy about it. We're good at it, too. Our hearts beat a little faster when it comes to producing the correct pay slips, timely salary payments and clear and comprehensive reports. Really!

There's a good chance your heart beats a little more quickly when you think about expat salary administration, but for all the wrong reasons. For internationally operating employers, handling the company's payroll is often a complex matter. It requires specialist and up-to-date knowledge. A good example is applying correctly the 30% ruling or verifying the foreign employee has been taxed fully in the Netherlands. But there’s no need to worry. With Courdid, you're in good hands.

Rest assured you’ll be able to rely on the accurate processing of your payroll: correct pay slips, timely salary payments and clear, detailed reports. And you’ll know in advance what it will cost you. Our expat payroll service gives you clarity, confidence and understanding. Not only for employees who do cross-border work (expatriate payroll) but also for company directors and supervisory board members (executive payroll).

Expat immigration

When it comes to employing expats and tackling immigration issues, Courdid takes care of everything for you. We stay up to date with the latest policies, laws and regulations, and we find the best solutions to strengthen your position as an international employer.

The Dutch migrant's policy enables companies to employ highly-skilled staff from outside the European Economic Area and Switzerland. To make use of the knowledge migrant scheme, the Dutch employer you must be approved as a recognised sponsor by the Immigration and Naturalisation Service. We can assist you with this and the knowledge migrant license application. Our service is professional and personalised.

We also help employers who want to engage foreigner employees from outside the European Economic Area and Switzerland and are not a recognised sponsor. In these situations, a work permit for non-EU citizens is usually necessary. We can arrange these permits and those required for the employee's family members by following well-worn paths or by seeking new routes and alternatives (but always within legal limits).
We also give advice on a wide range of issues such as the free movement of labour within the EU, ICT procedures, starting a company in the Netherlands, participating in training programmes and attending business meetings. We’re here to guide you through the entire immigration procedure.
