AI Tax Optimisation: Stop Leaving Schemes Unclaimed
Dutch tax legislation offers dozens of schemes for businesses: WBSO, EIA, MIA, VAMIL, KIA, innovation box. Manually tracking which ones apply takes hours.

In tax optimisation, AI helps mainly through completeness: deductions, schemes and deadlines buried in the bookkeeping. It does not replace your tax adviser, it hands them a complete file. This is what that delivers.
AI Tax Optimization for Dutch Companies
Dutch tax legislation is complex and changes annually. At the same time, the government offers dozens of fiscal schemes that companies can use to reduce their tax burden. The problem: most companies know only a fraction of the available schemes, and the administrative burden to claim them is high.
AI tax optimization fundamentally changes this. The system continuously analyzes your business activities, investments and expenses, and automatically identifies which fiscal schemes apply.
The Most Important Dutch Fiscal Schemes for Companies
| Scheme | Target Group | Maximum Benefit | Average Utilization |
| WBSO (R&D deduction) | Innovative companies | €1.2M per year | 34% |
| EIA (Energy investment allowance) | All companies | 45.5% deduction | 41% |
| MIA/VAMIL (Environmental investments) | All companies | 36% deduction | 28% |
| KIA (Small-scale investment deduction) | SMEs | €16,307 per year | 67% |
| Innovation box | Profitable innovators | 9% effective rate | 19% |
On average, a Dutch SME only utilizes 38% of available tax benefits.
Where the gain comes from
From completeness, not creativity. Schemes such as the WBSO, the innovation box and the investment deductions exist and are public; what goes wrong in practice is that the supporting evidence sits scattered across the bookkeeping, so claims are filed late or thin. AI helps find and bundle that evidence. What you actually recover depends entirely on your own situation and the current conditions per scheme — have a tax adviser verify it and do not budget on a percentage from an article.
