What is the difference between the Income Tax course and a Payroll Taxes course, and when do you choose which?

The Income Tax course focuses on income tax returns for private individuals, entrepreneurs and freelancers. You learn to work with boxes, tax credits, deductible items (such as owner-occupied homes and travel deductions), annuities, tax partnership and profit from business activities. A Payroll Taxes course covers what the employer withholds and remits: wage tax, national insurance contributions and employee insurance contributions. Choose Income Tax if you prepare income tax returns at an accountancy or administration firm, or if as a payroll administrator you receive questions about employees' private tax returns. Choose Payroll Taxes if you handle payroll administration and payroll tax returns. The Income Tax course The relationship between wage tax and income tax is addressed explicitly, plus current changes such as the Wet VBAR for freelancers.

What does the Income Tax course at Learnit give you that you won't learn from an online tax course or the Belastingdienst's explanatory notes?

A general online course or the explanatory notes to the tax return software explains the rules, but does not address your specific client situations. In the classroom-based Income Tax course you work with an experienced trainer on practical situations you encounter at an accountancy or administration firm. Topics include tax partnership, the box system, tax credits, owner-occupied home deductions, annuities, profit from business activities and the consequences of the Wet VBAR for self-employed workers. You can ask questions about your own cases and receive immediate feedback. The Belastingdienst's audit methods and the difference between domestic and foreign tax liability are also covered. The course focuses on being able to complete a tax return correctly and substantiate it to clients or colleagues.

How up to date is the content of the Income Tax course, and how do you deal with annual changes in legislation?

The Income Tax course is updated annually on the basis of the most recent legislation and regulations. This means that the current rates, tax credits, box 1 brackets, the notional return in box 3 and the current entrepreneur's allowance are covered as they apply at the time of the course. Recent developments are also addressed, for example the consequences of the VBAR Act for self-employed workers and changes to deductions relating to the owner-occupied home. This is an important difference from a static online course or an outdated handbook: you are taught in a classroom by a trainer who explains the changes and answers your questions about specific practical situations. Useful if you prepare tax returns in your work and want to be sure you are working with the rules for this tax year.

After the Income Tax course, will I be able to prepare tax returns independently for clients of an accountancy firm, or do I need more than that?

After this course you will be able to correctly complete a standard income tax return, including boxes 1, 2 and 3, tax credits, owner-occupied home deductions, travel allowance and annuities. You will also learn to apply profit from business activities and the entrepreneur's allowance, and the consequences of the Wet VBAR for self-employed professionals. This makes you deployable for standard private tax returns and straightforward income tax entrepreneurs. For more complex cases. Think of international situations, wealth planning, or business succession. Further specialist tax knowledge is required. The course is aimed primarily at staff at accountancy and administration firms, payroll administrators and financial administrators who prepare income tax returns alongside their regular work. Under the guidance of an experienced colleague, you can start working on client files immediately after the course.

Is the Income Tax course also useful if I mainly want to understand my own tax return better, or is it really intended for professionals?

The course is designed for professionals: staff at accountancy and administration firms, payroll and financial administrators and finance professionals who prepare tax returns for clients or colleagues. The pace, the depth and topics such as profit from business activities, the entrepreneur's allowance, tax partnership and the consequences of the Wet VBAR for self-employed professionals go further than what you need for your own tax return. Just want to understand your private tax return better? Then the guidance notes from the Dutch Tax Administration or a short online module will be quicker and cheaper. The classroom course only pays off if you prepare tax returns for others or need to answer tax questions from clients and colleagues correctly.

Teaching method

During this Income Tax course you work in a small group with an experienced trainer from the field.

You discuss situations you encounter in your day-to-day practice, such as tax credits, deductions, tax partnership and the consequences of the Wet VBAR for self-employed workers.

Prior knowledge

No specific prior knowledge is required for this course. It is helpful, however, if your work already involves salary, payroll or financial administration. That way you will recognise the terminology more quickly and can link the material directly to your day-to-day practice.

In-company

Would you like to organise this training for a whole group or several groups? This can be cost-effective. For example, we can tailor the content entirely to your organisation, and training a whole group is also cheaper.

Are you looking at large numbers of participants or a complete academy? That involves a great deal. Consider planning and communication, for example, or identifying and agreeing the objectives and content of the training. Or differences in level, feedback mechanisms and safeguarding.
