13 January 2025 | 17.30 - 20.30 | English spoken

Are you excited to have reached the point where you have completed an assignment for your first client? That your work will pay off and that the time has come to send your first invoice in the Netherlands? Learn how the Dutch tax system works and which rules apply to foreign entrepreneurs in The Netherlands. No need to worry, it is easier than it might seem. We’ve got you covered! Roll up your sleeves and let’s get to work. 

What will you learn during this evening?
In this training course, you will discover which tax returns you need to file, how you need to submit them and which costs are deductible. Running your business in the Netherlands is a walk in the park. This workshop is tailormade for internationals wanting to be an entrepreneur in the Netherlands, therefore the language of choice for this workshop is English.

About Ilona Veldhuis and Melvin van Jaarsveld
Ilona Veldhuis (she/her) and Melvin van Jaarsveld (he/him) are the trainers of the evening. Melvin is partner and registered tax adviser (RB) and Ilona tax consultant with NAHV Tax Advisors. They both love numbers and tax law, and they will share this passion to help starting entrepreneurs understand how taxes work, showing that taxes are not so scary at all. 

Ilona: "My mission is to explain taxes and accounting in a way that makes everyone understand. Taxes and accounting are not scary! With the right help and explanation, these two 'B's' (taxes and bookkeeping) can be quite manageable and comprehensible."

Melvin: “Maintaining financial records is not rocket science! If you realize that, then I've achieved my goal. And I hope that you will become comfortable with running your own business. That you don't see accounting and tax filings as obstacles but as part of the game. It doesn't have to be difficult if you know how to play it. Well... a little discipline is part of that.”
