Corporate tax

Tax your company pays on its profit before any money reaches you.

A company is taxed on what it earns after business costs and your salary. Only what is left — the after-tax profit — can be paid out to you as a dividend or kept in the company. This is the first of two layers of tax on company money.

In the worked example

On the worked example for a freelancer in Netherlands with €115,500 of revenue, this line comes to €8,645.
