The Dutch social security system is one of the most comprehensive in Europe.
Social security has two parts. The national insurance scheme (volksverzekeringen) and the employee insurance scheme (werknemersverzekeringen).
The national insurance schemes are General Old Age Pensions Act (AOW), Surviving Dependents Act (ANW), Long-Term Care Act (Wlz), and Child Support (Kinderbijslag).
National insurances are due when you are:
• Considered a resident of the Netherlands; or
• Subject to payroll tax in the Netherlands in respect of employment carried out in the country.
National insurances are collected through the withholding of tax from the individual.
