HBK expat consultants provide expert advice on tax and social security matters
HBK expat consultants
The specialists at HBK expat consultants provide expert advice on tax and social security matters relating to cross-border employment. Our consultants are highly experienced and know all the ins and outs of international mobility. Drawing on our international network and with our flexible approach we can provide support in any situation and with any problem, small or large, complex or straightforward. Our customer portfolio is varied and includes multinationals, SMEs, employees, independent professionals and private individuals all of whom are in some way affected by international tax and social security matters. We love what we do, we have heaps of experience and can quickly call upon the expertise of numerous specialists in many different areas. We know what’s going on and what is needed and wanted, even in areas not directly related to our own field of expertise. We tackle your issue without losing sight of the ultimate goal.
What can HBK’s expat consultants do for employers?
Are you looking for people with specialist knowledge that is hard to find in the Netherlands? From residence permit to remuneration and tax returns – we can help you take the right steps so you can feel confident about employing a foreign specialist. Do you already employ personnel from abroad and are you looking for a reliable advisor who can support these colleagues with Dutch tax issues or just their income tax returns? We can provide that assistance – ranging from a full-service package to occasional support – and can quickly estimate what would be suitable and agreeable to you and your staff. Together we can decide what would be the best custom solution for you.
Similarly, we can provide you with excellent support if you are intending to post one or more of your personnel abroad temporarily, or if, as an employer based outside the Netherlands, you wish to second one or more employees to work here. Together with our international network, we can help you to ensure that the right steps are taken in the areas of remuneration, tax and social security. So you can rest assured that you meet all the requirements, not just in the Netherlands but abroad too.
We can further offer solutions for remote working. This new form of working internationally has taken off and many employees now work at least partly from home, even if their employer is based in another country. By setting up your remuneration, payroll tax and social security matters accordingly, this approach can offer a welcome solution for both you and your employee in a world where working internationally from home has become part of the ‘new normal’.
Specific areas where we can be of service include:
- Drawing up and assessing ‘tax equalization’ policies, expat policies and global mobility policies
- Tax and social insurance planning for various types of cross-border employment (long and short-term secondments, working internationally from home, salary-splits with various countries, etc.)
- Reviewing remuneration packages, employee participation in the form of share options and severance packages (with or without an international element)
- Applying for the knowledge migrants scheme
- Applying for the 30% facility
- Applying for social security certificates
- Providing payroll services and advice on salaries for both Dutch and international employers
- Assistance with Dutch and foreign income tax returns, on an individual basis as well as for groups of international employees

What can HBK’s expat consultants do for employees?
Has your employer asked you to work abroad temporarily? Are you planning to work in the Netherlands for a while and are you looking for an advisor who can tell you whether this has been arranged in the best possible way? This is something we can certainly do for you. We would be delighted to work with you to determine whether the right schemes have been implemented and whether the correct permits have been applied for. Even if your employer already has an advisor for this purpose, we can help you in assessing whether the course of action chosen is best for both parties.

What can HBK expat consultants do for independent professionals and entrepreneurs?
As a third country national temporarily seconded to work in the Netherlands, are you eligible for the 30% facility? Have you ever considered starting your own business but you want to continue to have the benefit of the 30% facility? Or perhaps you are not yet working in the Netherlands but you would like to start a business here and would like to be able to make use of the 30% facility? We can help you with that. Our experts can tell you whether you would be eligible for this scheme and whether it would indeed be the best option for you. There are various legal forms which a business can take, with or without the 30% facility – a scheme which can sometimes certainly be an attractive option, but not always. Our consultants can explain precisely what considerations you need to take into account when choosing between the available options.

Do you need temporary assistance? HBK interim expat consultants is the solution.
Do you briefly need expertise in the area of international mobility or do you need a temporary replacement for one of the experts on your team? HBK expat consultants has experience of supplying interim solutions. These solutions could range from working in your organization on a temporary basis, to helping you out by absorbing peaks in your tax return work, for example. Our goal with these interim solutions is to support your organization in such a way that a temporary solution is just that, so that you can quickly move on without our help. Together with you we look for the best solution, and can adjust our rates accordingly.
