    What provisional assessments can I apply for as a non-resident taxpayer?

    It depends on your personal situation:

    • You are a qualifying non-resident taxpayer

      You live in an EU country, in Liechtenstein, Norway, Iceland, or in Switzerland, or on Bonaire, Sint Eustatius or Saba, and pay tax in the Netherlands on 90% or more of your total income.

      Deductions and tax credits

      You have the same deductions and tax credits (Dutch only) as a resident of the Netherlands.

      Tax partner

      Your partner for tax purposes may, under certain conditions, apply for a provisional assessment to have (part of) the following tax credits paid out:

      • general tax credit
      • employed person’s tax credit
      • life-course leave tax credit
      • income-related combination tax credit

      The following conditions apply:

      • You have the same tax partner for more than 6 months.
      • You pay sufficient taxes and possibly national insurance contributions in the Netherlands to have the tax credits paid.
      • Your partner has little or no income. For this we take the income from the Netherlands and abroad together (the world income).
