The Netherlands has a rich history dealing with taxation, predating the Romanic period.
Some of the most important taxes are that of the Income Tax (Wet op de inkomstenbelasting 2001), the Wage Tax (Wet op de loonbelasting 1964), the Value Added Tax (Wet op de omzetbelasting 1968) and the Corporate Tax (Wet op de vennootschapsbelasting 1969).

[edit] Income Tax
The Netherlands has a progressive tax rate. For a while, the highest income bracket in the Netherlands was 72%, but now this is 52%. The brackets are 1.8%, 9.35%, 42% and 52%. The first two brackets also contain the Social Security payments (premiums, AOW, ANW and AWBZ), making it effectively 32.6% higher - or 34.4%, 41.95%, 42% and 52%.
[edit] Value Added Tax
Generally speaking, there are two categories. There are foods and essentials, and non-foods and luxuries. These two categories have rates of 6% and 19% respectively.
[edit] Corporate Tax
20% for the first € 25,000, 23.5% for the second € 35,000 and above that a corporate tax rate of 25.5%
[edit] Games of Chance Tax
There will be no taxes when people win € 454 or less or when the entry fee was higher than the won price. If the price is higher than € 454 then there will be a tax rate of 29%, but when the host takes care of the taxes you multiply it by 100 and divide it by 71, after that you take 29% of that amount which will be the tax.
