Bill to fully exempt tips from income tax and social contributions
Official title: Wetsvoorstel tot vrijstelling van belastbaarheid voor fooien.
Status: Parliament is still discussing this proposal, for example in a committee or while waiting for advice. (parliament: ‘Pending in the Chamber’)
In plain language
- Tips would no longer be considered taxable income or wages, completely exempting them from personal income tax and social security contributions.
- This mainly affects hospitality staff and their employers, who would face significantly fewer administrative burdens.
- If you work in the hospitality sector, you would keep your tips in full without having to report them on your tax return.
