File tax return
Filing your tax returns annually (and under circumstances also quarterly) can be quite a hassle. It is important to have the correct documents and information ready and to understand the Dutch tax law. Also, the Dutch Tax Authority has not yet translated all information and/or forms into English. This means that it can be quite hard to understand what is being asked from you. WeAreLawyers is happy to assist you with filing different kinds of tax returns.

Freelancing in the Netherlands
Freelancing in the Netherlands gives much more freedom than working for a boss. It brings a lot of opportunities, but also certain obligations. As a freelancer, you will need to register at the Chamber of Commerce, file your own taxes and take care of the bookkeeping. As it can be quite time consuming to have a good understanding of all these obligations, our tax lawyers are happy to take this off your hands, so you can focus on your business.
