Payroll tax and payroll tax credit
This page contains information on payroll tax and the payroll tax credit, and what you need to look out for if you have multiple sources of income.
Payroll tax
You must pay tax and national insurance contributions (payroll tax) on your income. Payroll tax consists of:
- wage tax
- contributions under the Anw survivor benefit scheme
- contributions under the Wlz long-term care scheme
What is a payroll tax credit?
You do not have to pay payroll tax on all your income. You can also get a payroll tax credit. This means you will pay less in payroll tax. As a result, your net AOW pension will be higher. We apply the payroll tax credit automatically.
What if you have multiple sources of income?
If you receive income from other sources in addition to your AOW pension, such as a supplementary pension or wages, you can only apply the payroll tax credit to 1 source of income.
We cannot say which source of income, because we do not know what your total income is. Only the Dutch Tax Administration (Belastingdienst) knows this. For more information, go to the Belastingdienst website.
You want to change the way your payroll tax credit is applied
If you want to change the way your payroll tax credit is applied to your AOW pension, log in to My SVB and tell us what change you want to make. Remember to also change the payroll tax credits on your other sources of income as from the same month.
More information on taxes as from your AOW pension age
When you reach your AOW pension age, your income and taxes change. If you receive benefits from the Belastingdienst, they may also change. You can find more information about the Belastingdienst website.
