Taxes 

Taxes are the primary source of income for the government, and are used to fund general facilities. This includes the railway infrastructure, which is of crucial importance to NS. As a state-owned company, NS wants to be fully transparent as regards the money flows associated with taxes. The table below shows the amounts paid (positive) or received (negative) for corporate income tax, turnover tax and payroll tax.

From a tax perspective, NS incurred a loss in the Netherlands in recent years. As a result, no income tax (corporate income tax) was paid in the Netherlands in 2024. The 2024 result for tax purposes in the Netherlands was also negative.
