Originally posted by BlasterBates View Postno, normally not. You pay tax in Holland and then declare it on your German tax form, but it doesn't get taxed again. If it wouldn't be taxed in Holland obviously they would tax it in Germany. That setup you describe sounds a bit dubious. I think if the Dutch tax authorities had checked up they may well have come to another conclusion. If you had been working for a German agency it would be less obvious

It pays relatively well in cloggieland, but not sure about travel expenses.
You'll also need to make sure you have a Dutch payroll company as you can't get away with using a UK ltd anymore. Not sure what your set up is in Germany, but Dutch tax authorities prefer that you are a taxpayer if you earn there.
Travel expense (visiting home/family) I've been told seem to be taken into consideration with the 30% ruling.

Living in Germany, working in Holland
Some years ago it made sense to live in Germany and commute to the Netherlands because a) the wages were higher in Holland and b) usually Dutch employer offer unlimited travel expenses refund (at that time also for contractors).
Is that still so? ThanksTags: None
