30% tax ruling
posted by Merel Bosma in Netherlands forum
Hi sur pal,
I think the yearly salary should be enough to live comforably with a family of 2, but i'm not qualified to judge that.
The biggest monthly expense is usually rent, as they tend to be high especially in the big cities like Amsterdam and Rotterdam. The more you move out of the city, the cheaper this gets. Other costs are usually low.As far as the 30% ruling, make sure you apply for this as soon as you move to the Netherlands. Either your company can apply this for you, or you can do this yourself. There are plenty of tax advisors out there to help, like this one http://broadstreet.nl/30-ruling/. However, you will still need approval from your employee if you apply for this yourself.
Hope this helped and good luck!
