The start-up deduction in case of disability (startersaftrek bij arbeidsongeschiktheid)

Last updated: 18-11-2021

For the levy of income tax in the Netherlands, the start-up deduction in case of disability (in Dutch: "startersaftrek bij arbeidsongeschiktheid") can be claimed by:

  • qualifying start-ups in the first five years;
  • who receive a certain disability allowance or annuity;
  • who do not comply with the hour criterion but work at least 800 hours; and
  • who have not reached the state pension age (in Dutch: "AOW-leeftijd") at the beginning of the calendar year.

The start-up deduction in case of disability amounts to € 12,000 in the first year, € 8,000 in the second year and € 4,000 in the third year. All rates for 2021.

The start-up deduction in case of disability can never be higher than the profit (so it can not result in a loss or increase an existing loss).
