The minimum Director/Major-shareholder salary of €56,000

Knowledge base

The DGA salary of €56,000 makes many entrepreneurs refrain from choosing a BV as their legal form. But is that justified? The DGA salary is often decisive for starting entrepreneurs to choose a certain legal form. Unfortunately, this often happens unjustly. If the BV has no income yet, (which is often the case in the initial phase) the DGA salary can also be set at a lower amount than the notional minimum salary of €56,000. In many cases it is conceivable that in the first year no salary is paid to the DGA at all, because he or she also has another salaried job, or every euro is needed to run the new company. In this article we will explain everything you need to know about DGA salary as an entrepreneur.
