Opgaaf wereldinkomen - Worldwide income statement
21.05.2025Recently we have started receiving inquiries from clients reporting that they have received letters from the Dutch Tax Authority requesting them to complete a Worldwide Income Declaration.
In Dutch, this declaration is called Opgaaf wereldinkomen or Wereldinkomen aangifte. Why is this? For example, the global family income is used to calculate subsidies, if you requested a subsidy, you can receive such a request. If you received temporary protection benefits, you can also receive this letter. But these are only some of the reasons why the tax office sends a request to submit Opgaaf wereldinkomen. Let's find out what kind of declaration this is:
Opgaaf wereldinkomen is filled only for one person. If you have a fiscal partner and the tax office is interested in his income, he will receive a separate letter.
World income includes all income, both earned in the Netherlands and abroad. The report shows both gains and losses so you can determine your total income, which affects your benefits and taxes.
The title page of the Declaration form you received indicates the address to which you must send the completed and signed form and the date by which the tax office must receive it. If the report is not sent in a timely manner, the taxpayer may be subject to penalties.
If you do not have time to submit your return on time, you must request a deferral of filing from the tax office. You can request a deferment according to the instructions posted on the Belastingdienst website.
If you have lost the declaration form sent to you or want to change the submitted data, the form can be download from the tax authorities website.
If you do not have foreign income and property, you will most likely be able to complete the Opgaaf wereldinkomen on your own. If such income and property exist, problems may arise.
