Fiscal Partnership: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how married couples and registered partners can manage their income and assets to reduce their overall tax burden in the Netherlands.
A fiscal partnership is a tax arrangement for couples that allows you to manage your combined income and assets to reduce the total amount of tax you owe.
Who it's for

What you get
Being in a fiscal partnership gives you the ability to distribute your income and assets between you and your partner. This flexibility can help you minimize the total tax burden for your household.

There is no direct monetary fee to join, but it does require you to formally declare your partnership status when you complete your annual tax filing.

The most important thing to remember is that once you are considered fiscal partners, you are both jointly responsible for any tax debts incurred.
