  • RE: Income Tax on Dutch property

    Thank you for the input. This is pure fiction to designate the tax 'income tax'. Economic employment is the state of being employed or having a job. It is defined as working for at least one hour a week in exchange for payment, such as a wage, profit, or commission. Can it be demonstrated here who is my employer, what work have I done or what service have I rendered, and where is my remuneration? The tax is levied on an estimated value of a property.
  • Income Tax on Dutch property

    I am a British citizen by birth and my wife is Dutch national who has 'settled status' in the UK. We are both UK tax payers. In 2007 we bought a small flat in The Netherlands as a base when visiting family.Caveat Emptor I know, but the Dutch tax authorities now say that we owe 'inkomstenbelasting' (translates as income tax) based on a valuation of the property. In essence this is a pre-paid CGT since we don't actually receive any material income. Can we off-set these charges against UK CGT when selling the property and completing a UK tax return?
