Payroll Services in the Netherlands for Expats and International Companies

Managing payroll in the Netherlands can be a complex task—especially if you're an international business owner, remote team leader, or expat entrepreneur. At Nexpat, we make Dutch payroll easy and compliant, offering tailored solutions to fit your company’s structure, goals, and workforce. Our services are designed for expats and international companies hiring in the Netherlands, whether or not they have a local entity. With our support, you can meet all Dutch tax and labor obligations while focusing on your core business activities.

Employer of Record (EOR) – Hire in the Netherlands Without a Local Entity

If you want to employ staff in the Netherlands but do not have a Dutch company, Nexpat can act as your Employer of Record (EOR). This means we become the legal employer of your staff in the Netherlands, taking full responsibility for payroll, tax filings, and labor compliance. You manage your team’s day-to-day activities while we handle the rest—employment contracts, payroll taxes, net salary payments, pension administration, and annual wage statements. We also assist with A1 certificates and ensure all filings are made on time. This is the ideal solution for foreign companies entering the Dutch market, managing a remote workforce, or hiring before setting up a local branch or subsidiary.

Professional Employer Organization (PEO) – Co-Employment with Your Own Dutch Entity

If you have a Dutch company but want to outsource your payroll, our PEO service offers a co-employment model. You maintain control of your company and employees, while Nexpat handles payroll calculations, tax filings, payslips, and compliance tasks. We assist with company registration, employment agreements, salary structuring, and administration of the 30% ruling for expats. We can also manage VAT returns, bookkeeping, and director income tax filings if required. This approach is ideal for companies that want to grow in the Netherlands without building an in-house HR or payroll department.

Tailored Payroll and HR Solutions for Complex Needs

Some companies have more complex needs—such as cross-border staff, stock-based compensation, or relocation scenarios. For these cases, Nexpat offers custom payroll and HR solutions, adapted to your specific requirements. We advise on tax-efficient remuneration, structure employee stock options, analyze withholding tax risks, and coordinate with immigration lawyers to support visa and work permit applications. Whether you're relocating an employee or setting up an executive package, we offer precise, compliant, and practical guidance.

Expert Payroll Support for Expats

If you’re an expat managing your own B.V. or a foreign company employing expats, you need a payroll partner who understands your situation. Nexpat specializes in expat payroll services, including implementation of the 30% ruling, gross-to-net salary optimization, and compliance with Dutch and EU regulations. We help ensure that international workers receive accurate payslips, that taxes are correctly calculated, and that all legal obligations are met—without surprises or delays.
