About us

Blue Umbrella's mission is to help international families settle in the Netherlands by managing their tax matters. We specialize in income tax and childcare allowance. Blue Umbrella has a broad network of contacts within the childcare community and an established relationship with the Dutch tax office. This grants us the ideal position to help internationals and international families quickly and efficiently find the tax support they require.

Blue Umbrella is an authorized Toeslagendienstverlener - for the Dutch Tax Authority Belastingdienst/Toeslagen. English-speaking parents can be helped by Blue Umbrella to obtain their childcare allowance. Employees of International Organisations and diplomatic and consular missions can obtain the required documents for domestic or private childcare staff and have us apply for the Dutch childcare allowance. We are also able to work with the tax office to obtain BSN numbers (social security numbers).

Blue Umbrella works in partnership with the Tax Office, which allows us to manage your tax account effectively. If you choose our Blue Letter service, we can act as a repository for all your tax matters, receiving your tax letters and digitizing them onto your personal MyBlue page. Your tax correspondence is safely and conveniently stored and you have access to it wherever you are. Blue Umbrella corresponds with the Dutch Tax Office on your behalf and will contact you for information requests. For those leaving the Netherlands again, we continue to be your gatekeeper for Dutch Tax matters.

In helping you with your tax matters, Blue Umbrella promises:

• Full transparency
• Minimum red tape
• Complete support in obtaining the maximum possible benefit under the Dutch Childcare Act
• Timely and clear communication in English.
