On a taxable profit of €120,000, vennootschapsbelasting comes to €22,800 — an effective 19,0%, leaving €97,200 in the company. Of the lower band, €80,000 is still unused.
How this is calculated
The first slice of profit is taxed at the low rate and everything above it at the high rate, so the effective rate rises gradually rather than jumping. Both the rates and the threshold are unchanged for 2026. This is the company-level tax only: taking the after-tax profit out as dividend costs box-2 tax on top, which is a separate calculation.
Rates and thresholds, tax year 2026
| Low band rate | 19% |
|---|---|
| Low band up to | €200,000 |
| Rate above the low band | 25,8% |

Questions people ask
- Is my DGA salary deducted before this?
- Yes. Your salary is a cost to the BV, so it reduces taxable profit — enter the profit that remains after it. That is also why the salary/dividend split changes your total tax bill.
- Does the threshold reset each year?
- Yes, it is a per-year band. Profit shifted between years therefore changes which rate it meets, though the shifting itself has to be commercially real.
- What do I pay when I take the profit out?
- Box-2 tax on the dividend, on top of the vpb already paid — that is the two-step structure of a BV. The box-2 calculator prices that second step.
