Zusammenfassung:During the 1950s, to encourage US companies to start up activities in the Netherlands, US employees assigned to the Netherlands were granted a special tax status whereby only a portion of their salary was chargeable to Dutch personal income tax. This relief took the form of a fixed deduction (35%) from employment income. Expatriates in the Netherlands could qualify in 2 different ways for this 35% ruling - by the so-called specialist test, and by the job rotation test. The key condition of the new 35% ruling is that the employee should have professional expertise and/or specific know-how which is not, or not readily, available in the Dutch labor market.
