Supplemental description:

Running payroll in the Netherlands is notoriously complex. It represents the Dutch government's largest source of income, exceeding €156 billion annually. The Dutch Tax Authorities collect this revenue through the meticulous payroll tax return process, which not only gathers taxes but also feeds employee data to various government agencies for policy and benefit determinations. Compliance is paramount, and this training equips you with the knowledge of the Dutch Income & Payroll Taxes system to ensure accurate payroll and tax returns.
