Specifically for psychologists
What we pay extra attention to for psychologists.
Exempt and taxable services
Treatment and coaching are treated differently for tax purposes. We keep the revenue separate and file your VAT return where needed.
Claims and contracts
We reconcile payments from insurers and clients with your practice software, so you know what is still outstanding.
Combining employment and a practice
If you combine a job with your own practice, we check whether you count as an entrepreneur for income tax and whether you qualify for the entrepreneur's allowance (ondernemersaftrek).
Costs we often see for psychologists.
Business expenses reduce your profit and therefore your tax. We make sure they are booked correctly and, where possible, that you make use of the investment deduction (investeringsaftrek).
- Practice premises
- Supervision, peer review and registration
- Test materials and professional literature
- Practice and claims software
- Professional indemnity insurance
