ADP Payroll Around The World

Payroll in the Netherlands


Listen Later

The Netherlands may be best known for its postcard-perfect canals, colorful fields of tulips, and a famously bicycle-friendly lifestyle, but it's also a powerhouse in the global economy. Many multinational companies choose to set their European headquarters in the Netherlands, and the country’s business-friendly environment encourages an openness towards finding the best talent, whether domestic or foreign. This attitude is best exemplified by the so-called expat scheme, also known as the 30%-ruling, which allows eligible employees to receive up to 30% of their gross salary tax-free and is meant to facilitate relocation to the Netherlands.


In this episode of Payroll Around the World, we’re joined by Karin Stam, Legal Watch Analyst at ADP Netherlands, and Davy Van Iersel, General Manager of ADP Netherlands. They’ll talk us through the ins and outs of processing payroll in the Netherlands, including the rules around social security contributions and how the government is encouraging both employers and employees to embrace sustainability. We also speak to Tzula, a researcher from the USA who now lives in Delft and who was able to benefit from the 30% scheme.
