How Eredivisie money is taxed
The Netherlands applies a 49.5% top rate and a 30% ruling for qualifying expatriates.
Beyond the league deductions, every Eredivisie salary meets the tax system of the country and state it is earned in. There is no jock tax in European football, but almost every league adds social charges on top of the published income tax rate — the figures here combine both.
