Eddy does the bookkeeping for us on a monthly subscription, and it’s going well. We’ve been working with him for over three years now, and all the CIT and corporate tax filings are done on time, so I’m really happy with that. We have a group chat where we can ask questions, and they also do a monthly call to discuss the finances and forecast for the month. Everything is mainly online now, which is more convenient for us because we travel a lot, and we’re always very happy with how things are going.

I hired Rasim for tax filing purposes and accounting services, including my annual accounting and quarterly VAT returns for my business. I have been very happy with the quality of the service, and it never happened to me that they missed any deadline, which is really important because these things are very time sensitive. Compared to my previous tax advisor it is a bit higher, but I understand that this is basically the price and I am comfortable with that. They are always professional and respectful, and overall I have been very pleased and happy with them.

We came from the US and started a business here, and Ton has really been shepherding us through all the compliance and tax things we have to do. He is very good, very professional, very knowledgeable, and very responsive, I had three emails with him just today as we get down to the deadline for our first major tax filing. Coming to a new country where the tax process is quite different, it is great to have somebody who knows what they are doing. It takes a lot of the stress away, and I feel very comfortable and confident working with him.
How much do tax consultants cost in Amsterdam?
Real price ranges from the jobs our vetted tax consultants actually do. Prices updated August 2026
Exit and departure tax planning
How much does exit and departure tax planning cost in Amsterdam?
The year you leave the Netherlands you file an M-formulier instead of the usual form, and that runs €250 to €615 depending on the firm, with a partner's form alongside it at €225 excluding BTW. Get the advice before you go rather than after, because the timing of when you deregister and when you sell things is the part you can still change. If you own a meaningful stake in a Dutch BV, ask specifically about the conserverende aanslag; that's specialist work at €120 to €230 an hour and it deserves its own written quote.

Expat tax regime advice (30% ruling)
How much does 30% ruling and expat tax regime advice cost in Amsterdam?
The application is a joint one with your employer, and an Amsterdam firm will run it for about €875 excluding BTW. That fee is worth it when the ruling is genuinely on the line, because a late or rejected application costs you far more than the price of getting it right. Once the ruling is granted your return gets more interesting rather than harder: the partial non-resident choice and the first migration year (the M-formulier, €250 to €615) are the two parts people get wrong. If your employer says they're handling the application, check before you pay for it twice.

Tax residency advice
How much does tax residency advice cost in Amsterdam?
This is usually an hourly conversation rather than a fixed job. A general tax adviser charges €60 to €100 an hour, while a fiscalist, the university-trained specialist you want for a real cross-border question, charges €120 to €230. One or two hours is often enough to settle whether you count as a Dutch resident for tax, and that's money far better spent before you file than after. The year you actually move has its own form, the M-formulier, at €250 to €615.

Cross-border tax planning
How much does cross-border tax planning cost in Amsterdam?
This is fiscalist work rather than something a general adviser takes on, so expect €120 to €230 an hour, or €230 to €280 at the larger Amsterdam offices. A full planning file, covering how you should be structured across two countries and what gets filed where, comes in at €350 to €2,000. The sensible move is to buy one scoping hour first and then decide, because plenty of people find their situation is simpler than they feared.

Double taxation treaty advice
How much does double taxation treaty advice cost in Amsterdam?
There's no fixed price here, because no two treaty questions look the same. You're buying a fiscalist's time at €120 to €230 an hour, and €230 to €280 at the bigger Amsterdam offices. A written advice file, setting out your position and how to file it in both countries, typically lands between €350 and €2,000. Ask for a capped quote after the first call; any decent adviser can scope the work once they've seen where your income comes from.

Foreign income reporting
How much does foreign income reporting cost in Amsterdam?
The moment a second country appears on your return, the price moves out of the standard band up to €250 or more. Which form you need depends on where you live: the C-biljet, for Dutch income while you live abroad, is about €250, and the C, M and F forms sit in an €80 to €300 band depending on how much is going on. Claiming treaty relief correctly is the part worth paying for, because getting it wrong is what produces a letter from the Belastingdienst two years later.
Return with foreign income added
€250 or more
C-biljet, Dutch income while living abroad
€250

US expat tax (FBAR, FATCA, streamlined filing)
How much does US expat tax filing cost in Amsterdam?
We won't quote a US number, because none of the Dutch pricing sources we used cover FBAR, FATCA or streamlined filing. What we can tell you is the Dutch half: a Dutch return with US income on it sits at €250 or more, and specialist time is €120 to €230 an hour. For the US side, look for an Amsterdam firm with a US-qualified preparer and ask for a written quote per filing year, since a streamlined catch-up is priced by the number of back years.

Freelancer and self-employed tax
How much does freelancer and self-employed tax help cost in Amsterdam?
As a ZZP'er your return carries a profit calculation, so it's a different job from an employee return and it's priced that way: €275 to €500 for the annual filing, or €375 excluding BTW at an Amsterdam firm working to a fixed fee. Most freelancers end up on a year package that bundles the quarterly BTW returns with the annual filing, which runs €800 to €1,500 a year. Ask exactly what's inside the package before you sign, because the zelfstandigenaftrek and the MKB-winstvrijstelling are where the money actually is.

Personal income tax return
How much does a personal income tax return cost in Amsterdam?
If you're an employee with one Dutch job and no property, you can genuinely do this yourself for free with your DigiD on the Belastingdienst site. Most of the form is pre-filled and it takes an evening. Paying someone starts to make sense once there's a house, a partner, a divorce, a move mid-year or income from abroad, and then you're looking at €50 to €125 for a straightforward return and €120 to €150 once it gets tangled. Amsterdam firms that specialise in expats charge more, around €555 excluding BTW for a fixed fee, because they know the 30% ruling and the M-formulier by heart.
Simple return, one person, employment income
€50 to €125

Tax authority representation and audit support
How much does tax authority representation and audit support cost in Amsterdam?
If the Belastingdienst opens a boekenonderzoek, having someone sit in it starts at €1,000 and climbs with how long it runs. Most cases never reach that point: filing an objection against an assessment is €150 to €500, and simply correcting a provisional assessment is €50 to €150. Deal with a letter you don't understand early, while it's still a €150 problem rather than a €1,000 one. Beyond the fixed fees you're paying €120 to €230 an hour for a fiscalist's time.

Tax planning and optimisation
How much does tax planning and optimisation cost in Amsterdam?
A planning file, where an adviser looks at your whole position and tells you what to change, runs €350 to €2,000 depending on how much there is to look at. Broader financial and administrative advice sits at €300 to €1,200. Some firms sell a subscription from around €45 a month so you can ask questions all year instead of once in April, which suits people whose situation keeps moving. Be honest with yourself about whether there's anything to optimise; if you're an employee with one job and no property, there usually isn't.

Tax refund claims
How much does a tax refund claim cost in Amsterdam?
If you worked part of a year and had wage tax withheld, you're probably owed money back, and the T-biljet that claims it costs about €60. Claiming the refund inside a normal return runs €25 to €125. Do check whether you can just do it yourself with DigiD first, because on a small refund the fee eats the refund. Allowances like zorgtoeslag and huurtoeslag are a separate application at €35 to €50 each, and if a refund is refused, an objection is €150 to €500.

Capital gains tax
How much does capital gains tax advice cost in Amsterdam?
Dutch tax works differently from what you may be used to: gains on private shares and on your own home generally aren't taxed as a separate capital gain, and your assets are taxed in box 3 instead. So what you're paying for is getting the property and box 3 parts of your return right. Buying or selling your own home adds a surcharge of about €395 excluding BTW at an Amsterdam firm, and a return with a property event in it sits at €120 to €150. If you hold a substantial stake in a company that's a different conversation, charged at the fiscalist rate of €120 to €230 an hour.
Home purchase or sale surcharge on the return

€120 to €230 per hour
Crypto tax
How much does crypto tax help cost in Amsterdam?
None of the Dutch price guides we checked quote a figure for crypto, so we're not going to invent one. In practice your holdings sit in box 3 of your normal return, so the work is reading your exchange exports and getting the year-end values right, and advisers quote it once they've seen how many wallets and exchanges are involved. The hourly rate is the honest anchor: €60 to €100 for a general adviser, €120 to €230 for a fiscalist. Turn up with a clean export from every exchange and the bill will be shorter.

Inheritance, gift and estate planning
How much does inheritance, gift and estate planning cost in Amsterdam?
When someone dies there's a final income tax return, the F-biljet, and that costs about €80, rising toward €300 if the estate is complicated. The inheritance tax return itself is a separate job and gets quoted on its own, so ask for both prices up front. Planning ahead, gifts and how you set things up for the next generation, is hourly work at €120 to €230. It's a horrible time to be dealing with forms, so this is one of the few cases where paying someone is almost always the right call.
F-biljet, final return after a death
€80
F-biljet where the estate is complicated
€80 to €300
Estate and gift planning advice, hourly
€120 to €230 per hour
Pension and retirement tax
How much does pension and retirement tax advice cost in Amsterdam?
If your income is a Dutch state pension plus one Dutch scheme, your return is a standard one at €50 to €95, and you can very likely file it yourself with DigiD. It gets more expensive when a pension is paid from another country, which pushes the return to €250 or more, because someone has to work out which country may tax it under the treaty. Advice on moving or drawing a foreign pension is hourly, at €120 to €230 for a fiscalist.
Standard return, Dutch pension income
€50 to €95
Return with a pension from another country
€250 or more
Cross-border pension advice, hourly
€120 to €230 per hour
Rental and property income tax
How much does rental and property income tax help cost in Amsterdam?
Rental income is one of the things that lifts a return out of the cheap band, to €250 or more. Buying or selling your own home adds a surcharge of around €395 excluding BTW at an Amsterdam firm, and a return with a bijleenregeling in it is about €125. Amsterdam and the rest of the Randstad run roughly 15 to 25% above national rates, so a quote that looks high here may still be normal for the city.
Return with rental income added
€250 or more
Home purchase or sale surcharge
€395 excl. BTW
Return with a bijleenregeling
€125
Fiscalist (specialist), hourly
€120 to €230 per hour
Wealth tax advice
How much does wealth tax advice cost in Amsterdam?
Box 3 is where your savings and investments get taxed, and for most people it's a couple of fields on the return rather than a project. A return with foreign assets or foreign income in it moves up to €250 or more. If your position is genuinely layered, several accounts, property and a company, then it's fiscalist work at €120 to €230 an hour and a written planning file is €350 to €2,000. Get a fixed quote before the file starts, because this is the service where an hourly bill runs away from you.

Frequently Asked Questions
What people want to know before hiring tax consultants in Amsterdam.
What should I check before hiring tax consultants in Amsterdam?
Read recent reviews, be clear about exactly what you need, and agree the scope and a price in writing before any work starts. For anything regulated, check the credential yourself rather than taking it on trust.
Are prices in Amsterdam quoted with or without BTW?
Check, because it varies. A price quoted to a consumer should already include BTW, and most trades do show it that way, but plenty of price lists are still written excluding it. The rate is 21% on most work, though labour on a home more than two years old is taxed at 9%, and so are things like sports and fitness classes. Look for the word "inclusief" or "exclusief" next to the figure before you compare two quotes, and ask whether travel costs and parking are in there too.
How do I check a business in Amsterdam is properly registered?
Every legitimate Dutch business has a KvK number from the Chamber of Commerce, and you can look it up free in the public register. For gas, heating and electrical work there are extra schemes worth asking about, mainly SCIOS and InstallQ. A business that will not give you its KvK number is a reason to walk away.
What is the most important thing to know before booking?
Be clear about what you want and get the price and scope agreed up front, so there are no surprises. Reading other people's reviews is the quickest way to find someone who does the job well and turns up when they said they would.
What should I avoid when hiring tax consultants in Amsterdam?
Avoid paying the full amount up front (a deposit can be fair), anyone who will not give a clear quote, and unusually cheap prices that get padded with extras later.
How do I find tax consultants I can trust in Amsterdam?
Check the reviews and any credentials before you book. On Locallista the reviews are phone-verified and the ranking is based on real experience, not who paid the most.
