What's inside?
01
The 2026 tax guide (Dutch)
Nine chapters: getting started, your first 30 days (action plan), VAT & the KOR, income tax with a worked example, deductions, disability & pension (jaarruimte), eenmanszaak or bv, the tax calendar and checklists — including the seven pitfalls that cost starters money.
02
The 2026 tax guide (English)
The same nine chapters in English, written for expats: every Dutch term is explained. Great to share with a non-Dutch-speaking fellow freelancer.
03
Hours-log spreadsheet
Audit-proof hours log for the urencriterium (the 1,225-hour rule), with an automatic counter toward your target. Works in Excel, Numbers and Google Sheets.
04
Expense & mileage tracker
Business expenses with automatic VAT breakdown (your input VAT ready for the return), a trip log at €0.25 per kilometre, and a quarterly tax reserve that calculates how much to set aside.
Who is it for?
Anyone starting (or recently started) as a freelancer in the Netherlands — and anyone who's been at it a while but suspects their records 'sort of work' without knowing if they're right. After the guide you'll know what to arrange, what you can deduct, and when to file what.
Why this guide?
Made by the makers of the free tools on this site. Every figure — brackets, credits, deductions, the KIA table — was verified with the Belastingdienst in July 2026. No stale blog wisdom: the numbers of this tax year.
Frequently asked questions
Is this tax advice?
No. The guide gives a solid, current indication of how the system works, but it isn't personal advice. For your specific situation, a bookkeeper or the Belastingdienst remains the right address.
What format do I get?
Right after payment you download a zip with two PDFs (the guide in Dutch and in English) and two spreadsheets (.xlsx — works in Excel, Numbers and Google Sheets).
Why pay when the tools are free?
The tools on this site are and stay completely free. The Starter Kit is an extra for anyone who wants it all bundled and explained — and it helps keep the free tools running.
