Fees 2011

It is Hillbrook ETS' philosophy to exceed clients' expectations in everything we do against competitive fees. In addition, we believe transparency is important, also with respect to our fees. Reason why we use the following 2011 fixed fees for our services. All fees mentioned are exclusive 19% VAT.

1. DUTCH INDIVIDUAL INCOME TAX RETURNS

Employees/Supervisory directors or statutory directors

Straightforward tax return (P or C-form): EUR 275
Straightforward tax return in migration year (M-form): EUR 375
Tax return partner: 40% of the applicable fee

The fees are based on a well completed tax return questionnaire. The fee is an all inclusive fee, it covers:

Sending tax return questionnaire
Checking questionnaire on receipt and advise client on any missing info
Answering routine queries if client has difficulties completing questionnaire
Timely follow up on outstanding compensation information
Preparation of tax return
Reconcile tax liabilities
Sending tax return to client
Filing tax return with tax authorities

Please note that the fees do not include appealing to tax assessments. In addition, should it be reasonable to charge an additional fee because of complexity and/or time consuming tax return preparation process, our proposal for reasonable extra fees will be communicated and agreed with the client before filing the tax return so there will be no fee surprises.

Entrepreneurs/self-employed

Straightforward tax return (P-form): EUR 500 for those who report income from on the side activities (ROW)
Straightforward tax return (O-form): EUR 650 for those who report income from a business

This fee does not include the preparation of a balance sheet and a profit and loss account. Further it covers all the items as mentioned above with the employees. And again please note that the fees do not include appealing to tax assessments. And also, should it be reasonable to charge an additional fee because of complexity and/or time consuming tax return preparation process, we will (try to) agree this with client before filing the tax return, so there will be no fee surprises.

2. DUTCH CORPORATE INCOME TAX RETURNS

Compared to individual income tax returns, the fee for preparing and filing a corporate income tax return even more depends on the complexity level. Therefore, we first would like to discuss what level of complexity and information process can be expected.

3. ADMINISTRATION SERVICES

Our as of price for an administration amounts to EUR 80 per month. You will appreciate knowing that the exact fee depends on the number of invoices, the number of bank account entries, the level of complexity and the information process.

4. DUTCH VAT RETURNS

Preparation and filing of a Dutch VAT return depends on whether we are responsible for the administration or not. Our as of fee quote amounts to EUR 100 per quarter if we are not responsible for the administration.

If the administration is prepared by us, the fee for the VAT return may drop to EUR 40 per quarter.

5. OTHER FIXED FEE SERVICES

30%-Rule Request Application Procedure – EUR 350

This is an all inclusive fee, it covers sending a 30%-Rule questionnaire, preparing and filing the 30%-Rule request with the tax authorities and checking the 30%-Rule decision of the tax authorities and sending this to 30%-Rule holder/client

Entry/exit 1-hour meeting – EUR 250 if at our office

This is an all inclusive fee, it covers

arranging meeting

6. PAYROLL SERVICES

We provide payroll services to both local and international mobility employees. We offer a variety of different payroll services depending on the requirements of the client and therefore it is difficult to provide fixed fees for just payroll services. We offer a 1 hour free of charge intake meeting to determine the needs of your company and send you a fee proposal. Please contact us for a meeting.

7. SETTING UP A BUSINESS

It is important to know which legal form of a business suits your situation best, both now and for the next couple of years. We work together with experienced notary firms to give you an excellent advice and choose the best option for you. We offer a 1 hour free of charge intake meeting to determine which form of a business would suit you best and send you a fee proposal. Please contact us for a meeting.

8. OTHER SERVICES – ALSO NO FEE SURPRISES

As you can find under services we offer more service than the above-mentioned services. For these services our fees are based on a level involved and time spent basis. Our hourly rates differ from EUR 100 for bookkeeping services through EUR 250 for tax advice. However, if requested it is possible to provide a fee quote in advance so no fee surprises can exist.
