Filing your payroll tax return
You file your payroll tax return yourself at Mijn Belastingdienst Zakelijk. Payrollr.nl prepares the numbers; it does not file and does not connect to Digipoort or the Belastingdienst.
Where to find the numbers
Open the payroll run and scroll to Tax return overview. It lists exactly the values the return asks for, so you can copy them across one by one.
- Wage in money
- The gross salary for the period.
- Taxable salary
- The salary the wage tax is calculated over.
- Wage tax / national insurance withheld
- The amount you entered on the payroll run.
- Zvw contribution withheld
- The withheld Zvw contribution for the period.
- Labour tax credit applied (column 18)
- The verrekende arbeidskorting, reported separately in the return.
- Contract wage and paid hours
- The agreed gross monthly salary and the verloonde uren for the period.
- Total payable to Belastingdienst
- Wage tax plus Zvw contribution. This is the amount you pay after filing.
The codes in the overview
- Table code 010
- White time period table, resident of the Netherlands — the usual code for a DGA on the payroll of their own BV.
- Income relationship code 17
- Director-major shareholder, not insured for the employee insurance schemes.
- Zvw code M
- Withheld employee contribution, rather than an employer levy.
These codes are defaults that fit the standard situation of a solo DGA. If your situation differs, follow the Belastingdienst guidance or ask your accountant which codes apply.
The order of steps
- Create and approve the payroll run for the period.
- File the return at Mijn Belastingdienst Zakelijk with the values from the overview.
- Note the 16-digit payment reference (betalingskenmerk) the Belastingdienst gives you for this period.
- Enter that reference in Payrollr.nl to prepare the payroll tax payment.
- Pay before the due date on the return.
The payment reference is different for every period. Never reuse the reference of an earlier month — the payment would be booked against the wrong period.
Deadlines
The return and the payment are normally due one month after the end of the period. The exact due date is on your return; Payrollr.nl does not track deadlines and does not send reminders.
