Tax Numbers
Everyone who is liable for income tax in the Netherlands must acquire a SOFI number.
Once you have registered with the IND and the City Hall (and got a residence permit, if you need one), a SoFi (sociaal-fiscaal) number can be obtained. This number identifies you within the tax and social security system and is essential if you wish to work. To obtain a SoFi number, you will need to contact the Tax Office – Belastingdienst.
