What changed in the Dutch and European rules this site tracks?

We watch every source page this knowledge base cites and record when it changes. The entries below name the source and the guides that lean on it, so you can see how current an answer is before you rely on it.

This site answers questions about landing and funding a company in the Netherlands, and every answer rests on a published source: the Belastingdienst, the IND, RVO, the KVK, a ministry, or a European institution. Those pages are not fixed. A rate moves at the turn of the year, a salary threshold is raised, a scheme closes, a document is given a new address. That creates a question a reader is right to ask: how do you know this page is still true? The honest answer is that we check, every day, automatically, and that we write down what we find. This page is that record.

How this record is made

Each night a routine retrieves every source page this knowledge base links to and compares it with the version it saw before. It compares the readable text rather than the underlying code, because a page can change its markup every day without changing a single fact. It also compares the numbers on the page separately, because a moved figure is the change that matters most to a reader. A difference is only recorded once it is still there the next day. A page that shows one wording to one visitor and another to the next would otherwise produce a daily alarm that nobody reads. Two things are recorded: a figure that moved, and a source that could no longer be retrieved at all.

What changed

18 October 2026
A figure changed on a page we use as a source: portofrotterdam.com. We cite it in Where to land in the Netherlands. The page itself carries the new value; we check our own wording against it.
17 October 2026
A figure changed on a page we use as a source: ind.nl. We cite it in Dutch-American Friendship Treaty (DAFT), Family of a highly skilled migrant, Highly skilled migrant: how long it takes. The page itself carries the new value; we check our own wording against it.

Why a source that disappears matters

A dead link under a guide is worse than a missing one. It looks like evidence, carries the name of an authority, and points at nothing. When this routine began it found exactly that: an overview of Dutch tax treaties cited by nine pages on this site whose address had quietly been retired, because the file name carried a quarter in it and a new file is published every quarter. The guides now point at the ministry page that stays put. That is the second reason this record exists. It tells a reader when a fact moved, and it tells us when a page needs rewriting, on the same day and from the same signal.

What this record does not do

It does not report that a rule changed in the world. It reports that a page we cite changed. Those are usually the same thing, and sometimes they are not: a ministry can rewrite an explanation without changing a rule, and a rule can change before the page catches up. Where the difference matters, the guide itself carries the dated wording and the source, which is where a number belongs. It also does not cover everything. It watches the sources this site already uses, so a change in an area we have not written about yet will not appear here until we do.
