The 30% ruling for the EU Blue Card is a tax benefit that the Dutch government introduced. It is applicable for individuals or foreign workers who are employed from outside the Netherlands to come and seek temporary work there. As per the 30% ruling, employers of these individuals will be required to pay 30% of their overall salary without taxes. The 30% ruling only applies to a maximum salary of the Standard Remuneration Act. The scheme was implemented to support foreign employees for expenses and relocation to the Netherlands. As per the recent update, the latest changes to the 30% ruling suggest that employees who were issued the 30% ruling in or before 2023 can benefit from the tax-free 30% rule for a maximum of five years. However, the same may not apply to recent applicants (those applying this year or 2025). Individuals applying in 2024 or later will have a 30% decrease every 20 months.
