I nearly didn’t share this.
It’s the guide that helped me reclaim €50,000 from Revenue in the last 5 years.
But then I remembered why I started this newsletter…
To help people like you keep more of what you earn.
Even if you aren’t based in Ireland, it’s still worth a read.
I’ve helped people in the Netherlands, Sweden, UK and US figure out similar schemes.
The story behind this guide
Last month, I discussed my website with a friend.
He said: “You need a crazy giveaway. Something that is so valuable that it makes you feel bad giving it away for free.”
It didn’t take me long to figure it out.
A crazy valuable thing I can give are the instructions on how to claim back €1,000s in taxes.
It’s simple to do but most don’t know about it or don’t do it.
After I told him about my idea, he looked at me and said:
“This should be your lead magnet. It’s so valuable I’d feel uncomfortable giving it away for free.”
He was right.
The step-by-step plan to claim back €1,000s
This isn’t theory.
It’s the exact process I’ve used to help clients claim back over €664,000 in annual tax refunds.
Imagine checking your bank account and seeing €6,000 land for money you were already owed.
Inside, you’ll see:
• The 5-step process that takes most people less than an hour
• Why a 27-year-old Google employee got €5,625 back last year
• How a couple at LinkedIn and Oracle now get €17,200 every single year
• The mistakes that cost people thousands (I made them all)
• Why your financial adviser has no incentive to do this for you
But here’s my favorite part…
I can access my corporate pension from age 50.
Even though I probably won’t touch it (compound growth is too good), knowing I can feels incredible.
One small ask
If you find this helpful…
Share it with someone who could use it too.
Your colleague with the big salary and bigger tax bill.
Your friend who’s always complaining about how much they pay to Revenue.
That person who earns well but has no tax strategy.
Because everyone deserves to keep more of what they earn.
All coaching spots I had available in June have been taken.
Because I will be preparing for some summer holidays, I have only 5 spots available in July.
If you want to claim one of them, let's have that intro call to see if there's a fit:
No pressure. No sales pitch. Just an honest conversation about where you are and where you want to be.
Speaking of honest conversations, that's what I am about to have in Dublin's city centre with members of the D2 Collective.
Talk soon,
Sjoerd
P.S. If you have any feedback on the guide I shared with you, I'd love to hear it.
Let me know if you like it, if it's helpful or if it's missing anything.
Quick reminder: I'm not just a coach - I'm someone who's walked this path myself. Left corporate after 11 years at Salesforce, built my own financial freedom, and now I help others do the same.
Real experience.
Real results.
Real transparency.
