Emigration

I will be emigrating to Norway in 2011 to live with my fiancée Anne-Gudrun. On this page I keep a list of things that should be taken care of. This information could be specific to my situation only.

Levensloopregeling

The “levensloopregeling” is a Dutch specific tax-friendly arrangement to save money for free time, e.g. a sabbatical, stopping earlier with working, etc. Because The Netherlands is the only country that has such arrangement, emigration will affect this arrangement.

When emigrating, and the emigration is associated with termination of employment, further investment will not be possible. It is however possible to “buy off” the deposit, but you have to pay tax over it. Depending on the situation, there is also a possibility to transfer it to your pension arrangement.
