This is us

 

The GrenzInfoPunkte provide an independent, easily accessible service for cross-border workers in the German-Dutch-Belgian border regions. Tailor-made information is provided and the staff are familiar with the culture, language and systems on both sides of the border. Information in the areas of taxation, social security and labour law is kept up to date through joint training. The GrenzInfoPunkts are part of a large network and the staff have good contacts with professionals from the organisations in all three countries.
