Have you had a part-time or summer job in the Netherlands? If your employer has paid income taxes on your behalf, you might be eligible for a tax refund. The Dutch tax return period runs from 1 March to 1 May. If you file your tax return before 1 April, you should receive your refund by 1 July. 

You can file a tax return for any of the past five years. Make sure to file a return for every year you had a part-time job, as your refund could amount to a few hundred euros.
