Taxable profit

What is left of revenue after business expenses and your salary are deducted — the amount corporate tax is calculated on.

Taxable profit is the base the company pays corporate tax on: revenue, minus business expenses, minus the salary and pension contributions the company pays you. Lowering this figure with genuine deductions lowers the corporate tax bill; the profit that remains after tax can then be paid out as dividend or kept in the company.

In the worked example

On the worked example for a freelancer in Netherlands with €115,500 of revenue, this line comes to €45,500.
