Payroll Services in the Netherlands

This service is for any Dutch B.V. that hires employees in the Netherlands. It's essential for ensuring correct calculation and payment of salaries, wage tax (loonheffing), social security contributions, and managing special schemes like the 30% ruling for skilled expatriates.

A payroll system must be established before hiring your first employee. The company needs to be registered as an employer with the Dutch Tax and Customs Administration (Belastingdienst), and all employees must be correctly registered to ensure proper tax withholding from their first salary payment.

Pricing for outsourced payroll in the Netherlands is usually on a per-payslip basis:

• **Per Employee, Per Month:** €20 – €40.
• **One-time Setup Fee:** A setup fee of €100 – €250 may apply.

Errors in Dutch payroll can lead to significant issues:

• **Tax Penalties:** The Belastingdienst can impose fines for incorrect or late payment of wage taxes and social security contributions.
• **Employee Liability:** Incorrectly processed salaries can lead to employees facing unexpected tax bills or issues with social benefits.
• **30% Ruling Errors:** Improper application of the 30% ruling can lead to its revocation and significant back-tax assessments.

Dutch payroll legislation is highly complex, involving detailed calculations for tax, pensions, and various social security schemes. Outsourcing to YourLegal's local partners ensures that all deductions are calculated correctly, all declarations to the tax authorities are made on time, and your company remains fully compliant with Dutch employment and tax law. It is the only safe and efficient method for managing payroll in the Netherlands.
