‘In 2013 each household will spend fifteen euro extra on btw (VAT)’

AMSTERDAM – Next year, the agreed rise of the high btw (VAT) tariff will cost each household approximately 15 euro each month.
The following year this amount will increase to approximately 27.50 euro. An economist working for the ING bank confirmed the news last Saturday in Het Parool. Comprehensive financial service ING has, at the request of this newspaper, calculated the consequences of this raised btw tariff (this tariff will be levied on most products and services). “Because most people will not be receiving a rise in pay in the coming years, almost everyone will be effected the higher prices”, according to the ING.

Agreement
The company has based its calculations on data provided by the Centraal Planbureau. The CPB has taken the effects of the VAT increase on the public’s buying behaviour into account. Another factor that has been calculated into the data is the fact that not all shopkeepers will pass on the complete VAT rise onto their customers. The five-party agreement of last Thursday states that the higher VAT tariff will rise from 19 to 21 percent.

For an expat moving to the Netherlands, getting the right direction is very important. It's important that one knows which steps and direction to take. Linda is an exceptionally talent counselor, her advice has helped me land a job within a week of coming to the Netherlands. I am grateful for her mentoring and look forward to a great working relationship in the future.

Together Abroad provided expert advice on personal branding including developing a top-notch, market-aware CV, highly tailored job applications, and approach strategies with potential employers in the Netherlands. Furthermore, I found them be highly knowledgeable in key related fields such as recruitment strategy, immigration law, contracts, labor agreements, and (un)employment benefits. I would recommend Together Abroad to anyone who needs professional help with transitioning to a new career.

Linda is a big mind. She thinks about things that the rest normally overlook. The insight she has about the dutch job market can only be achieved through years of experience and persistence.

Her business savvy is complemented by her mastery of understanding the client's needs and requirements. For my career I could say, she was the “Mary Poppins”, who guided me through thick and thin and helped me to land a career in the Netherlands

S. Bhattacharjee | FP&A Manager

If you are going to enlist the services of a "Career Coach" look no further. The only person you want in your corner is Linda van Orsouw. As an expat, you absolutely want to work with a highly skilled and knowledgeable professional who knows their way around the Dutch career/employment/job market. Linda assisted me in writing and positioning my CV, helped me organize and prioritize my list of opportunities, coached me through mock interviews and was there when I got offered a senior position only 2 months later. When asked I will only refer to Linda and "Togetherabroad".
