From your UK address
to anywhere in the Netherlands.

Because one corridor done well beats five corridors done passably. The Netherlands has its own customs path, its own depot infrastructure (Rotterdam for sea, the Dutch customs facility for road), four mover-distinct regions (Amsterdam, the Randstad, Brainport/Eindhoven, the North), and a UK-mover catchment dominated by work-led relocations that has its own timing patterns. A general European removals firm cannot match that specialism across fifty corridors. If your move is to anywhere other than the Netherlands, we are not the right firm — and we will say so honestly rather than take the job and learn on you.

For a permanent residential move, your goods qualify for transfer-of-residence (verhuisboedel) relief from import VAT and customs duty — provided you have owned them for at least six months and are establishing residence in the Netherlands. The UK-side filing is the ToR1 declaration to HMRC; the Netherlands-side filing is the inventory and supporting documentation submitted to Dutch Customs (Douane), along with your BSN (citizen service number) or BSN-application reference and proof of residency change. We handle both filings as part of the move package — you sign and provide the supporting evidence.

As a UK citizen post-Brexit you are a third-country national for Dutch residency purposes. The main pathways: employment-based residence permit (most common — your Dutch employer applies through the IND as a recognised sponsor), highly-skilled-migrant permit (kennismigrant — the route used by most ASML/Philips/tech-sector hires), family-reunification permit if a spouse or close family member is already resident, the Orange Carpet self-employed scheme for specific qualifying entrepreneurs, and DAFT (the Dutch-American Friendship Treaty — only relevant for US citizens). The application is via the IND (Immigration and Naturalisation Service); your employer or sponsor usually files on your behalf.

The 30% ruling is a Dutch tax facility that lets an eligible expatriate employee receive 30% of their gross salary tax-free, as a tax-exempt allowance compensating for "extraterritorial costs". To qualify you need to be recruited from abroad, have specific expertise (in practice a salary above the relevant annual threshold), and meet the residency-history conditions. The maximum duration of the ruling has been progressively shortened over the past several years; the current cap is five years for new applicants. We are not tax advisers — get specialist advice from a Dutch tax adviser before relying on any specific characterisation, especially for cases near the threshold or with prior Dutch residency history.

Yes — we coordinate routinely with the main relocation-management firms (Crown, SIRVA, Brookfield, Cartus, Santa Fe, IOR, and the others). The RMC typically handles housing, schools, immigration, and the gemeente / BSN side of arrival; we handle the moving-the-goods part and the customs paperwork on our side. We can talk directly with your RMC throughout, or you can mediate — whichever you prefer. Most of our Brainport and corporate-Randstad moves work this way.
