Hi everyone!
My husband and I recently spent a week in Amsterdam after previously visiting many years ago separately. We both instantly fell in love again. Especially with Leiden and Delft. We were going back and forth over the pros and cons of moving there. Mainly budget in regards to where the income originates and taxing. His job is freelance, he can work wherever he wants, but the income will come from the USA. We will immediately take a loss based on exchange rates, roughly $10,000, poof!
Everything I've been reading tells me we wouldn't pay the NL income taxes, we would pay the USA for income taxes as we currently are. Is this accurate?
We would also plan on buying a home instead of renting. If there is any advice, tips or reasons you think thats a terrible idea, please share.
What is the average salary, after taxes, that is standard for living over there? Particularly Delft and Leiden. Even Utrecht. We are pretty simple in our lifestyle, and would be willing cut back in other areas if it meant the experience of living there.
I'm new to the community as well. I look forward to hearing some advice. Thanks so much!
