Yes, you need to register at Gemeente Amsterdam within 5 days of arrival (legally). You get a BSN (citizen service number) which you need for everything — bank, doctor, tax.07:16 AM

Tax question: do I need to file a Dutch tax return if I'm employed by a Dutch company? Or does the employer handle it?06:56 AM

Employer handles the monthly payroll tax but you still need to file an annual return — especially if you have the 30% ruling or any other income. Belastingdienst.nl has an English guide.07:11 AM

A good accountant is worth it. Mine charges €200/year and always gets me money back.06:56 AM
