Amsterdam has many tax advisors, called a belastingadviseur or fiscalist in Dutch, from one-person offices to firms with tax lawyers.
Many help newcomers with their first Dutch tax return, the 30% ruling for people recruited from abroad, and income from more than one country.
For businesses they handle VAT, corporate tax and payroll questions; tax lawyers step in when there is a dispute with the tax authorities.
Ask for a fixed price for your return or an hourly rate, and check which language they work in.

Questions people ask
When is the Dutch income tax return due?
The annual return over the previous year is normally due by 1 May. An advisor can ask the tax authorities for more time.
Do I need an advisor for my tax return?
Many people file it themselves. An advisor is most useful in your first year, with income from abroad, a business, or the 30% ruling.
What is the difference between a tax advisor and a tax lawyer?
A tax advisor prepares returns and gives advice. A tax lawyer, a fiscaal advocaat, can also represent you in a legal dispute.
