Working for a foreign employer
More and more Dutch people are being asked to work for foreign employers while remaining based in the Netherlands. In this case, the foreign employer is required to tax the employee’s salary according to Dutch laws and regulations. As an employee, you are still eligible for tax benefits in the Netherlands (such as mortgage interest deduction and pension accrual). Tentoo makes this possible.
Tentoo handles taxes, pension and more as the legal employer
If you have a foreign employer, Tentoo can act as your legal employer in the Netherlands. We will then pay your salary monthly in accordance with Dutch tax and employment law. Leadership, supervision, guidance, and management remain fully with the foreign employer, who receives a clear and concise invoice from us every month (digitally). Ideal for you and your foreign employer.
Tax obligation taken care of
Tentoo acts as the legal employer for you as an employee. We pay your salary and take care of all payments to the tax authorities. You and your foreign employer don’t have to arrange anything for this.
Right to mortgage interest deduction
If you work for a foreign employer and are paid through us, you work fully in accordance with Dutch fiscal and labor law. Your income is known to the Dutch government and you retain your right to mortgage interest deduction.
Pension accrual
After 26 weeks of work via Tentoo you start building up pension. This is the Basic Pension Scheme. Everyone over 21 with a flexible or temporary contract is legally entitled to this. Tentoo arranges the registration and your foreign employer pays the premium.
If you work 78 weeks or more you switch to the Plus Pension Scheme.
