As of January 1, 2022, the Dutch government replaced the tax deduction procedure by STAP assigned for Dutch residents. The STAP budget is 1000 euros (including VAT) per person per year. It can be used for any kind of continuing education or training and therefore, you can apply this budget when choosing for MaastrichtMBA. You can request a STAP budget on the UWV website. The application will need to be completed before the start of the programme and you can apply on specific moments in a year.
