What can be consequences of calling the tax office helpline? TaxTalk with Steve Ten Bokum

The tax system in a new country can be quite complex and confusing. What about the Netherlands specifically? If the information available online is not entirely clear, there are a few options. You could hire an expert to assist you, or you could contact the tax authority's helpline, known as "de belastingtelefoon".

However, some questions arise: Can you discuss your case anonymously? Will the advice you receive be in your best interest? And is the information provided on the phone legally binding? Our guest today is Steve Ten Bokum, a financial advisor at expat-service.nl. Jean-Paul Linnartz delves deeper into the topic, questioning whether the role of "de belastingtelefoon" is to maximize tax revenue for the Dutch government.
