Evaluation 30% ruling and ET scheme (‘ETK’)

Employees who come from abroad to work in the Netherlands often receive compensation for costs incurred while living outside their country of origin, known as extraterritorial costs. Examples of such costs are travel costs, additional administrative costs, language training, and relatively higher expenses for rent, food and utilities in the Netherlands. SEO Amsterdam Economics is evaluating the tax facilities for these extraterritorial costs, such as the 30% ruling and the ET scheme (‘ETK’). The results of this survey contribute to the decision-making in Dutch politics. 

We would like to invite both employers and employees to participate in this study. Among employers, the questionnaire is aimed at people, for example, responsible for (international) talent recruitment or HR policy. For employees, the survey is aimed at persons from abroad who live or have lived in the Netherlands. If you know more people who fit (one of) these descriptions, you may forward the survey(s) to them.
