Are you receiving benefits from the local authority? Are you starting a part-time job? If so, you may be able to keep part of your earnings on top of your benefits. We call this the ‘exemption for income from work’.

Who is not eligible for income relief?
Are you applying for benefits and do you already have income from work? If so, you will not be granted an income allowance when your benefits start.
By freeing up income, your income will increase
This may have implications for:
- the surcharges imposed by the Tax and Customs Administration.
- remission of municipal taxes (Tribuut).
Release almost always has advantages for you. It is a good idea to carry out a trial calculation. This will enable you to assess what the consequences of release will be for you. You can carry out the trial calculation by www.toeslagen.nl.
Always notify the tax authorities of your new income.
This will help you avoid having to pay back any money.
