Overview
The Netherlands have introduced a simplification to the reimbursement of business expenses but the overall impact is often not fully understood and, whilst the management of expenses can often sit outside of payroll, the Work Costs Scheme (WKR) very clearly has to be managed through the payroll to ensure full compliance. In addition to this there are two types of social insurance one for employed persons and one for everyone else. Plus a number of employer only insurances, which means that the on costs in the Netherlands are very high.
Who is this course for?
