Alles weergeven- Buying Your First House in The NetherlandsKoppeling zichtbaar voor deelnemers
It’s no secret that the Dutch housing market has been insane over the past few years. But that shouldn’t discourage you from making that very special purchase: your first home!
Buying your first property has loads of advantages, both financial and emotional. It also provides you with a sense of accomplishment, the knowing you aren’t simply flushing money down the toilet on rent.
Making that special purchase, however, is not always an easy task. In this webinar we aim to make the process easier for you. In it, we’ll discuss:
- An overview of the Dutch housing market
- Securing a mortgage and how much you can borrow
- For employees
- For freelancers (ZZP’ers)
- The financial advantages of buying a house/property
- The costs involved
- Searching for a property
- Bidding, negotiating and important strategies to consider
- Signing & notarizing the contract (and other important documents)
- Getting the keys and moving in
- Tips & tricks you can’t find anywhere else! ;)
The journey to home ownership can be one of those joyful moments in life and the key to making it so is being armed with the right knowledge and help. That’s why we have enlisted our friends at Fortior Hypotheken

Time: 17:30 – 20:00 - Filing Your U.S. Taxes While Living AbroadKoppeling zichtbaar voor deelnemers
Although the U.S. boasts an incredible and innovative economy, beautiful nature and robust opportunities, many Americans decide to live abroad. They can be in search of personal or professional growth, adventure, or to simply retire.
Experiencing a new culture is both exciting and engaging. For most countries, however, once you have left, you cease to become a tax resident and therefore pay no income tax. But, as a U.S. citizen, you are taxed based on your American nationality, not necessarily only where you live. Therefore, as an American living abroad, you must file income taxes and report certain items to the IRS and the U.S. Government.
In this webinar, we’ll walk you through what you need to do in order to comply with U.S. regulations, as well as some tips and tricks to do so efficiently and painlessly.
We’ll discuss:
- Who needs to file U.S. income tax
- Considerations for U.S. expats
- How to file your U.S. income tax Federal & State Tax Returns
- Understanding the basic regulations
- Avoiding double taxation
- Credits from the U.S. government
- Tax planning and tax efficient strategies
- Things to consider when owning Property or a Business in the United States
- Considerations for Digital Nomads
- Considerations for retirees
- The streamline procedure, for those who haven’t filed
- You’re first income tax filing
- Accidental Americans
- Tips & Tricks
Remember that the long arm of Uncle Sam and the IRS is not something which can be ignored, so it’s important to get informed, follow the rules and do everything correctly. In this webinar, we’ll help you with everything you need to know about filing your U.S. tax returns from abroad. So join us for a smooth tax experience!
