If you receive interest, royalties or dividend from another country, taxes will often be withheld when interest, royalties or dividend is paid out. This is referred to as tax levied at source.
The Netherlands has entered into a treaty with some countries about which country is allowed to levy tax. If you receive income from a country with which the Netherlands has entered into such a treaty, you may be entitled to (partial) exemption from or refund of the tax withheld or to be withheld. It depends on the agreements made in the tax treaty in question. We can advise you regarding this.
