The starter tax deductions: up to 3,323 eur off your taxable profit
New freelancers who work 1,225+ hours/year on the business can stack the zelfstandigenaftrek (1,200 eur in 2026) plus the startersaftrek (2,123 eur) - a 3,323 eur deduction, usable up to 3 times in your first 5 years. Hard gate: the 1,225-hour criterion (about 25 hrs/week), all-or-nothing, so keep an hours log. Honest note: the zelfstandigenaftrek is shrinking every year (2,470 in 2025 to 1,200 in 2026 to 900 in 2027), so the MKB exemption above is now the bigger lever.
