Criteria for the 30% ruling
Criteria for the 30% ruling
In order to qualify for the 30% rule you need to meet one of the two following criteria:
- You are a student with a PhD, you must have a taxable salary of at least € 29,149 a year and you are under the age of 30.
- You are an employee and have an agreed taxable salary of at least € 38,347 a year. With a gross salary of at least € 54,781 you can get the maximum of 30% tax free. In case the agreed gross salary is under € 54,781 a year we need to adjust the tax free percentage in order to have at least a taxable income of € 38,347 a year.
In addition you must meet the following overall criteria:
- You must have experience in an area of expertise, which is scares on the Dutch labour market.
- You are not hired from within a 150km radius of the Dutch border.
- There is a 25-year look back period. This means that all periods you had residence or worked in The Netherlands ending in the previous 25 years are deducted from the maximum 5 years period the ruling can be valid. That is why most Dutch nationals will not qualify for the ruling.
