As a tax adviser, I receive and process personal, financial and sometimes sensitive information. I understand that you share this information with me in confidence, and I treat it with the care and discretion it deserves.
Your information is used only for the services we have agreed upon and for any legal or administrative obligations directly related to those services.
Confidentiality
Your information is treated as confidential and is never sold or used for commercial purposes.
Where necessary to carry out my services, your information may be shared with the Dutch Tax Administration, other competent public authorities, or trusted service providers who support my work. This only happens when it is necessary for the engagement or when I am legally required to do so. Whenever information needs to be shared with other parties as part of my services, this will be done in consultation with you whenever possible.
Security
I take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your information against loss, unauthorised access and unwanted disclosure.
To exchange tax returns and other tax-related information securely with the Dutch Tax Administration, I use my own PKIoverheid services certificate. This provides a secure connection and enables the Dutch Tax Administration to verify that the information has been submitted by me.
I do not need your DigiD to file your tax return. Never share your DigiD with anyone, including someone who claims to be helping you with your tax affairs.
Data Retention
Your information is not kept longer than necessary for the performance and completion of my services, unless a longer retention period is required by law.
Questions
If you have any questions about how I handle your personal information, please feel free to get in touch.
