To Tax
Salary withholdings and social security
Optional employment benefits schemes, the work-related expenses scheme [Werkkostenregeling] (WKR), employee participation plans, confusion concerning social insurance obligations or remote work abroad: these are just a number of arbitrarily selected items which an employer may encounter in practice.
Challenges when calculating salary withholdings
Employers face challenges that wittingly or unwittingly also often have implications for the calculation of salary withholdings, for example, when an employee starts working remotely or is temporarily seconded abroad. Complex cross-border situations, (leased) parking bays, and the appropriate tax valuation of on-site team days require practical, bespoke solutions.

Reflection and looking ahead: Has it gone well and how can it be improved?
Taking risks in relation to salary withholdings and social security can have significant consequences, not only financially but also with regard to an organisation’s reputation and its employees’ well-being. Human resources teams are often expected to assume responsibility for keeping track of all tax, pension, insurance and administrative aspects for staff. Finance teams are expected to be in control of tax and consequently aware of any risks pertaining to additional tax assessments. In addition, they regularly receive requests to conduct a critical evaluation of cost items (for tax purposes or otherwise) in order to ensure that the business remains financially sound.
Dirkzwager helps employers to comply with the relevant legislation and regulations in the form of concrete implementation in relation to salary withholdings and social security while also considering opportunities for optimisation.
