When am I entitled to the labour rebate?
The labour rebate is for people who are working. When you are employed, your employer takes it into account when calculating how much tax should be withheld. If you are an entrepreneur or a freelancer, the rebate is calculated automatically when doing your annual tax return.
You are entitled to the rebate if you receive one of the following sources of income:
- Operating profits;
- Salary, sickness benefit and other income due to being employed;
- Tips, share options rights and other income which is tax-free;
- Tax-free income from salaried employment at an international organisation;
- Foreign income from salaried employment;
- Other income (freelancer).
Amount
The amount of rebate you receive depends on your age and income. It is important if you reached the AOW-age yet or not. If you did already reach the AOW-age, the amount you will receive reduces.
With the help of the tables mentioned below, you can calculate the amount you are entitled to.
