Help with Dutch tax returns and bookkeeping

Looking for an accountant or bookkeeper to handle your bookkeeping, annual accounts or Dutch tax return? I can take that work off your hands. As a tax adviser, I also calculate the tax consequences of financial decisions.

You deal directly with me, Farshad Bashir, a tax adviser based in Almere. I work with individuals and business owners across the Netherlands. We discuss the work and fees before I start.

Have your bookkeeping and VAT returns taken care of

I keep your records and prepare your VAT returns. We agree which tasks you will continue to do and which I will take over. You can ask me to keep your books on an ongoing basis or bring overdue records up to date.

If I also prepare your annual accounts and tax returns, I handle them together with your bookkeeping. You have one point of contact and do not need to explain your situation to different advisers.

Have your Dutch income tax return prepared

I prepare income tax returns for individuals and business owners. If you have a Dutch BV, I can also handle its corporate income tax return.

I can also help with mortgage interest deduction and other tax questions about your home, box 3 (savings and investments), foreign property or income from abroad. I assess your tax position if you have several sources of income, you and your partner both file returns, or you own assets in different countries.

If you have moved to or from the Netherlands, I prepare your return for that year, also known as the M-form tax return. I can also handle provisional assessments and Dutch benefits and allowances. If a previously filed return is incorrect, I assess what needs to be put right and handle the correction. You review the return before I file it.

Have your annual accounts prepared

I prepare your business’s balance sheet and profit and loss account and explain what the figures mean. If you need annual accounts for a tax return or finance application, we discuss which documents the recipient requires.

Work out the tax consequences before you decide

Are you deciding between salary and dividends, or do you want to know what a change in your income would mean financially? I calculate the tax impact of each option and explain the results. Read about my business tax advice or personal tax calculations.

Help with objections and tax court proceedings

Looking for a tax attorney to object to a Dutch tax assessment or represent you before the Dutch tax court? I can also provide that assistance as your tax adviser.

I can handle your case from the first response to a tax assessment or decision through to tax court proceedings. I handle the correspondence and objection, prepare the written submissions, represent you and attend the hearing.

Tell me what you would like me to handle

Briefly describe the work you need help with and whether it is a one-off assignment or ongoing bookkeeping. I explain which documents I need and discuss the approach and fees. Once you agree, I get started.
