What Does a 30% Ruling Application Cost in the Netherlands?

Applying for the Dutch 30% ruling involves professional fees, as the application requires specific documentation and expertise to maximize approval chances.

Standard Application Costs

A standalone 30% ruling application typically costs €650. This covers the preparation and submission of your application to the Dutch Tax Authority.
