Loonheffing

Unless there is a net wage agreement you will deduct the wage tax and social security contributions from the employee's wages. The employers' social insurance contributions are payable by you and cannot be recovered from the employee. You are required to file periodic returns for the amounts you have deducted and those you are required to pay yourself.

Belastingdienst is responsible for levying and collecting the social insurance contributions, the employee insurance premiums and the health insurance premium. The Ministry of Social Affairs And Employment [Sociale Zaken en Werkgelegenheid] (SZW) and Care and Youth Caribbean Netherlands [Zorg en Jeugd Caribisch Nederland] (ZJCN) are responsible for any payments pursuant to this insurance.
