Can Horizons support the 30% ruling application in the Netherlands?

Yes, Horizons can support the application process for the 30% ruling in the Netherlands and will assist eligible employees in submitting their request to the Dutch tax authorities.


As an Employer of Record (EOR), Horizons is authorized to apply for the 30% ruling on behalf of qualifying employees who are relocating to the Netherlands. This tax benefit allows eligible employees to receive up to 30% of their gross salary tax-free, helping to offset the costs of international relocation.


To understand how the 30% ruling works and whether you might be eligible, please refer to our related article:

What if the Employee Already Has the 30% Ruling?

The 30% ruling is employer-specific. This means that if an employee changes employers, even if they were already benefiting from the 30% ruling, a new application must be submitted under the new employer.


Horizons can support this reapplication process, however, the employee must still meet the eligibility requirements at the time of application.


Important Notes

  • The outcome of any 30% ruling application is entirely at the discretion of the Dutch Tax and Customs Administration (Belastingdienst).

  • Horizons has no influence over the approval or rejection of the application.

  • If the application is rejected, the application fee is non-refundable.
