Return to non-working partner

Good afternoon, Alexey!
No, these are two different concepts.
Non-working partner refund is a tax credit (algemene heffingskorting). Any taxpayer or any person living in the Netherlands is entitled to it. Discounts are automatically applied when calculating salaries. For those who work, all discounts are deducted automatically, and for people who are unemployed, there is nothing to deduct this discount from. But if you are fiscal partners and have lived together for at least 6 months in this calendar year, then you can distribute this discount among yourself. That is, the non-working partner's discount can be applied to the taxes of the working partner.

And the unemployment benefit depends on the period of work and on the average earnings at the previous job, in the Netherlands it is requested from UWV.

Good afternoon,

Please tell me, to whose account this refund will be credited? Does the spouse need to have an account in her own name and register it on the tax website or will the money be transferred to my account?

Thank you in advance.

Good afternoon!
If you and your spouse have a joint account, then the refund can be credited to it. If you have a separate account, then your spouse also needs to create a separate one. But in any case, this account does not need to be registered on the tax website.
