One of the nicest countries to live in
The Netherlands is one of the nicest and wealthiest countries to live in. Apart from political and economic stability, it has a very accessible social security system and excellent working and living conditions. Assistance from Dutch employers is generally very good.
The Netherlands has always been an excellent choice for Filipinos. There is very positive attitude towards Filipinos in the Netherlands, as Filipinos are regarded as very friendly, loyal, hardworking and kind. This is one of the reasons why we welcome Filipinos more than many other people.
Our personal connection with the Philippines
Our founders have a very deep connection with the Philippines. Being expats themselves, they lived in the Philippines and their children attended elementary school and high school in the Philippines. Since 2006, they visit the Philippines very regularly as they love spending time in the Philippines. It truly feels like home for them.
Working in the Netherlands
There is currently a huge demand for qualified employees in the Netherlands in almost all sectors of our economy. This is due to the fact that the Dutch population is aging rapidly and there are not enough Dutch employees to fulfil the jobs that are available.
The salary level in the Netherlands is among the best in the world. This makes it very attractive for Filipinos to work in the Netherlands. In addition, there are excellent working hours and working conditions at Dutch companies, whereby the work-life balance is much better than in the United States. A typical work week consists of 36-40 hours. There are very strict rules when it comes to working beyond your contract, to avoid disabuse of employees.
Favourable tax regime for workers from abroad
If you come to work in the Netherlands, it is very likely that you fall under a very beneficial special tax regime, called the 30% ruling. This entails that your Dutch employer can give you 30% of your gross salary tax free, which will save you thousands of Euros a year. In fact, you can benefit from this special scheme for 5 years ánd you are not taxed on your worldwide savings. PHIL THE JOB has years of experience in the global mobility sector, and we have applied for many 30% rulings. We can therefore assist you with the 30% ruling application.
