What changes?
Are you eligible for the private business ownership allowance (zelfstandigenaftrek)? The amount you can deduct annually from your profits will be reduced sooner and more: from €6,310 in 2022 to €900 in 2027.
The private business ownership allowance was already being reduced in stages, eventually dropping to €1,200 in 2030. This amount is now going to be reduced sooner and more. In 2023 it will be reduced to €5,030, dropping further to €1,200 in 2026, and €900 in 2027.
When the private business ownership allowance is lowered, you pay more tax. With this tax measure, the government wants to narrow the gap between the self-employed and employees.
For whom?
- Self-employed entrepreneurs that are eligible for the private business ownership allowance.
When?
It is expected this change in law will come into force on 1 January 2023.
