Module 8: The tax system (Box 1, 2 and 3)

The Belastingdienst (the Dutch tax authority) ultimately determines how much of your gross pension or return is left over net. In this module you dissect the Dutch box system: Box 1 (work and home), Box 2 (substantial interest) and Box 3 (saving and investing). You learn the difference between a tax-deductible item (aftrekpost) and a tax credit (heffingskorting), and discover the advantages of fiscal partnership.
