As a surviving relative or executor, you are responsible for filing the final tax return of the deceased. This must be done using the F-form and covers income and assets up to and including the date of death.
That's completely normal in this situation. We guide you step by step through which documents are needed and help you request them from banks, pension funds, or employers. If certain information takes longer to obtain, we can request an extension from the Tax Authority on your behalf.
Yes, absolutely. We work fully GDPR-compliant and use secure connections. Your data is stored encrypted and is only accessible to your assigned tax specialist.
After receiving all documents, we typically complete the return within 4 to 5 weeks. The final tax return of a deceased person must be filed before the regular deadline, but we can request an extension if needed. We keep you informed throughout the process.
After a death, the surviving partner's tax situation changes significantly. Mortgage interest deduction may change as the home ownership debt shifts. Box 3 wealth is recalculated: the tax-free allowance drops from EUR 115,368 (combined) to EUR 57,684 (single) in 2025. Tax credits and benefits need to be reassessed. We also assist the surviving partner with their adjusted tax return.
Inheritance tax is a separate filing from the F-form. The exemptions in 2025 are: partner EUR 804,698, children EUR 25,490 per child, grandchildren EUR 25,490 and other heirs EUR 2,658. Rates range from 10% to 40%, depending on the relationship and the amount above the exemption. Funeral costs reduce the taxable estate. We advise on both filings.
Yes, you can correct or file a return up to 5 years back. This is relevant if the deceased missed deductions or if there were errors in earlier returns. Jan de Belastingman checks whether a correction would be beneficial and handles the complete process with the Dutch Tax Authority.
Reasonable funeral costs are deductible from the estate for inheritance tax purposes. This includes the funeral or cremation, obituary notices, flowers, memorial services and headstone costs. Costs for mourning clothes and travel expenses of surviving relatives are not deductible. We calculate which costs can be claimed and process them correctly in the return.
