Terms and conditions 30% rule at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft)

The 30% rule is a tax facility intended for foreign staff with specific expertise that is scarce on the Dutch market. This
rule entails that employees may receive a maximum of 30% of their taxable income as a tax-free allowance in addition
to their salary. No tax is due on this amount, which is intended as compensation for extraterritorial costs. Applications
are assessed and granted by the Dutch tax authorities.
