This means payroll tax credit. Payroll tax credit is a rebate that allows you a discount on your taxes. This allows your employer to pay less tax and for you to receive more wages. However, you're only allowed one payroll tax credit per employer. So if you work more than one job simultaneously, you can only choose one employer to enable your payroll tax credit.
Normally you get a BSN on the same day you have your BSN appointment. Otherwise it will be delivered by post within 5 working days. The quickest way to get a BSN is via a temporary BSN, which lasts 4 months. You can get a temporary BSN by registering your home address from your country of origin at any of these townhalls. We strongly advise to avoid making an appointment at Amsterdam townhall for a temporary BSN, as the wait times are too long. A temporary BSN allows you to do all the things you can with a permament BSN. You can "upgrade" your temporary BSN with a permament one in the townhall of where you're living at any time.
In theory, yes. However a BSN is a legal requirement for all residents of The Netherlands. If you start working without a BSN number, you may get emergency taxed 52% of your paycheck till you have one. We strongly advise you to get a BSN as soon as possible once you arrive in The Netherlands.
Yes. Every person who lives and works in The Netherlands is legally obliged to have Dutch health insurance. This means you cannot use the health insurance from your country of origin. Normally you pay for Dutch health insurance yourself, however some companies will pay for your Dutch health insurance as a benefit for working with them.
Usually not. YoungCapital is an agency with multiple different clients and we hire people for these companies. It is very rare that our client is willing to give a visa sponsorship right away. And when it happens this is normally after a certain period of time. So make sure you have an active workpermit which allows you to work in the Netherlands. YoungCapital as an agency does not give the visa sponsorship to the people we recruited for our clients.
