Good news for all businesses!
The WKR (work-related costs scheme) has been expanded
After the government had already widened the work expense scheme in the Netherlands by half a percent to 1.7% from January 1, 2020, the government has now decided to temporarily widen it to 3% until the end of 2020. This unexpected extension has everything to do with the coronavirus. The 3% is valid for the first €400.000 of the wage bill per employer, making it extra favorable for SMEs.
Whereas from the beginning of this year all companies were already improving by €2,000 in untaxed allowances, so now there is even more because of the corona virus. These are of course great news for companies who would like to surprise or thank their staff for their efforts. The working expenses scheme was created, for example, to make a staff gift or to reward staff with a nice Christmas package at the end of the year.
WKR and employee gifts
A staff gift has been the way to let your staff know that you are happy with them for years. Especially in these times of the coronavirus in which companies are struggling, it is important to reward your staff for their efforts, because these are not easy times. So it is now extra favorable for companies now that the government has temporarily expanded the WKR to 3% untaxed of the wage bill.
