No guesswork. Just the law.
Fin-Wijzer searches official legislation and gives you the answer, with the exact source attached.
Straight from the law
Fin-Wijzer draws its information from the Basiswettenbestand (BWB). The official, digital collection of all Dutch legislation, maintained by the government. The same source used by lawyers and the Tax Authority.
No blogs. No forums. No training data scraped from the internet. The law itself.
This means every answer Fin-Wijzer gives can be traced back to a specific legal article. Not "read somewhere", but article 3.76 of the Income Tax Act 2001 (*Wet inkomstenbelasting 2001*). You can look it up yourself.
Three steps. One answer.
You ask your question
Type your tax question in plain language. No jargon needed, no article numbers. Just your question, the way you'd ask a colleague.
How many hours do I need to work for the self-employed deduction?
Fin-Wijzer searches the law
Your question is matched against official legal texts. Fin-Wijzer identifies which articles are relevant to your situation and retrieves the right passages.
You get the answer, with the source
You receive an understandable answer in plain language. Below each answer is the exact source reference: the legal article, the paragraph, the specific provision. So you can verify it yourself.
Not just another chatbot
Nothing taken on faith. Just read the source.
You get an answer in plain language. No legal jargon, no vague references. And below every answer is the exact source: the legal article it's based on. Want to check for yourself? Click, read, done.
You don't need an appointment to understand the law.
Fin-Wijzer doesn't replace your accountant. But you don't have to wait to understand what the self-employed deduction is. And when you do visit your accountant, you'll show up prepared.
The Tax Authority helps you fill in forms. We help you understand them.
The Tax Authority's tools are designed to fill in forms. But they don't explain why you need to fill something in, or what your alternatives are. Fin-Wijzer does.
Honest about what we're not
Fin-Wijzer provides information, not advice. That's a deliberate choice.
We tell you what the law says about your question. We point you to the exact article. But we don't tell you what to do. That depends on your personal situation, and that's what a tax professional is for.
What we do
- Answer tax questions based on the Income Tax Act 2001 (ITA 2001)

What we don't do
- Give personal tax advice

- Cover all tax laws (that's coming)
- Replace an accountant or tax professional
When in doubt, always consult a professional. We make sure you show up better prepared.
