Who is the withholding agent/contribution payer?
If a non-resident employee is employed by a (sub)contractor based abroad who has contracted for work from a Netherlands-based entrepreneur, the foreign (sub)contractor will qualify as the withholding agent/contribution payer in any case in the following two situations:

if he has a permanent establishment in the Netherlands (e.g., an office, factory or quarry);
if he has a permanent representative resident or established in the Netherlands.
In addition, the non-resident (sub)contractor himself may request to be regarded as the withholding agent/contribution payer in the Netherlands.

Example
In the following situation, a foreign contractor himself may request to be regarded as the withholding agent/contribution payer in the Netherlands. He executes a building commission in the Netherlands with a duration of nine months. This period is not long enough to bring about a permanent establishment (this would require twelve months). Consequently, the contractor is not a withholding agent/contribution payer. His staff, however, are taxable in the Netherlands: they work and/or sojourn in the Netherlands for a period longer than 183 days. They will have to register with the Dutch Tax and Customs Administration and apply for a tax and national insurance number ('SOFI number'). Subsequently, they should pay the tax owed in the Netherlands themselves. The employer may elect to register in the Netherlands and to pay wage tax and contributions. This will make things a great deal easier for the employees: usually, there will be no need for them to pay an income tax assessment in the Netherlands or apply for a refund of tax already paid in their country of residence.

neutral  Miomira Brankovic: Izvinjavam se, ovo mi je prvi put da menjam svoje mišljenje, nothing personal. Malo sam bolje proučila predmet, pa mi je sada jasno da postoji razlika između taxpayer i withholding agent. Detaljnije objašnjenje u mom odgovoru.

  -> withholding tax je " income tax withheld from employees' wages and paid directly to the government by the employer", pa treba podvuci razliku.Da, naravno da ima razlike i ja sam to ovim komentarom i napomenula. Kakogod, rec je o poreskim obveznicima.

poreski platac


Explanation:
Poreski obveznik je poreski dužnik koji je obavezan da plati porez, odnosno sporedno poresko davanje.
Drugi poreski dužnici su:
1) ...;
2) isplatilac prihoda poreskom obvezniku (u daljem tekstu: poreski platac) koji je dužan da obračuna i po odbitku plati propisani porez na taj prihod, u ime i za račun poreskog obveznika, na odgovarajući uplatni račun;
3) poreski posrednik koji je dužan da sa računa poreskog dužnika (poreskog obveznika ili poreskog placa) na osnovu njihovog naloga za prenos sredstava obustavi i po odbitku uplati utvrđeni porez, u svoje ime, a za račun poreskog obveznika, odnosno poreskog placa, na odgovarajući uplatni račun;
Zakon o poreskom postupku i poreskoj administraciji, čl. 12
http://www.carinskatarifa.com/propisi/poreski/19203.html

Na primer, kod obračuna poreza na zarade zaposlenih koji padaju na teret zaposlenog (jer jedan deo pada i na teret firme), poreski obveznik je zaposleni, a poreski platac je preduzeće, ustanova itd. koji prilikom obračuna zarade odmah obustavlja i uplaćuje porez.

Withholding agent
If you pay wages or benefits to an employee or a benefit recipient, you have to withhold wage tax and national insurance contributions (together also known as payroll tax) from these wages, and pay them to the Tax and Customs Administration. If you have to withhold and remit payroll tax, you will be known as the *withholding agent*. You are also obliged to withhold and remit payroll tax if you made staff available, i.e. if you are a seconder, supplier, etc.
http://www.belastingdienst.nl/buitenland_uk/buitenland_uk-40...

Withholding agent. The term \'\'withholding agent\'\' means any person required to deduct and withhold any tax under the provisions of sections 1441, 1442, 1443, or 1461.
http://www.tax-freedom.com/ta06001.htm
ZOP ... nije utvrđivao da li je poslodavac, odnosno drugi isplatilac prihoda, kao *poreski platac*, obračunao i uplatio porez za svakog pojedinačnog zaposlenog, odnosno drugog poreskog obveznika.
http://www.g17institut.co.yu/bilteni/PDF/36-37.pdf

Mislim da je iz ovih primera jasno da je - pojednostavljeno rečeno -poreski obveznik (taxpayer) pravno ili fizičko lice koje ostvaruje neki oporezivi prihod, dok je poreski platac (witholding agent) isplatilac tih prihoda koji je dužan da obračuna i odmah obustavi i plati porez u ime poreskog obveznika, tj. isplaćuje neto sumu umanjenu za porez.
Primer sa zaradama je svima možda najbliži, ali isto je npr. sa porezom na prihod od kamata: ako imate novac u banci i na to dobijete kamatu, vi ste poreski obveznik na prihod od kamate, ali taj porez ne plaćate sami, nego ga banka odmah obustavlja i uplaćuje poreskim organima u vaše ime, te je banka u ovom slučaju poreski platac, ali nije poreski obveznik.
