Reporting Income for Rent Allowance: Essential Steps

Does your income change? Report it timely to the Tax Authorities to prevent problems with rent allowance. Learn the rules and deadlines.

Rent allowance depends on your actual income. If it increases or decreases, you must report this immediately via Mijn toeslagen on toeslagen.nl. Do not wait for the annual review, as reporting afterwards may lead to additional assessment and fines up to €546. For salary increases, freelance income or changes in benefits, there is an obligation to report within 8 weeks. Use the online change module and upload supporting documents such as payslips. The Tax Authorities will then recalculate your allowance from the change date. In case of a decrease in income, you may be entitled to more allowance. Tip: keep a logbook of all changes for evidence. If you do not report, you risk recovery plus interest. Check your provisional assessment monthly and correct errors. With these steps, your allowance remains safe and up-to-date. (198 words)
