As of 1 January 2012, a number of changes were made to this scheme. For example, since that date, employees under the age of 30 holding a master\u2019s degree meet the expertise requirement if their salary exceeds a certain amount. In proceedings before the Supreme Court, the issue at stake was whether a foreign employee was entitled to benefit from the 30% scheme under the new rules, even though his employment contract had commenced before 1 January 2012. Upon taking up employment, the employee did not meet the expertise requirement in force at the time, but did meet the new standard.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Supreme Court, an assessment must be made, based on the facts at the time the employment contract was concluded, as to whether an employee possesses the required specific expertise. At that point, there is competition between the domestic employer and foreign (prospective) employers. This also applies if the request for application of the 30% scheme is made at a later date and the regulations have since been amended. In this case, the inspector was right to reject the request because, under the 2011 scheme, the employee did not possess the required specific expertise.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Voor uit het buitenland afkomstige werknemers met een bijzondere deskundigheid, die op de Nederlandse arbeidsmarkt niet of schaars aanwezig is, kan op verzoek de 30%-regeling worden toegepast.
