In the Netherlands:
- From January 1st ~ March 31st, you download the new tax tool (windows) from the government site.
- You fill in the data and numbers from previous year, send to you by your employer (income), bank (mortgage), etc
- You double check everything
- In the end you see how much tax you need to pay for the next year, spread out per-month.
- You click "send" and data is transferred via a secure connection
- After a few weeks, you get a paper letter with the official numbers, on how much you have to pay (this will be automatically deducted from your income, this saves bureaucracy), and how much you can cash back from the government (also automatically) every month.
- Done
Really easy!
