Change your tax credits

We deduct ‘loonheffing’ from your benefit. ‘Loonheffing’ consists of wage tax and national insurance contributions under the AOW pension and Anw survivor benefit schemes and the Wlz long-term care scheme.

What is a tax credit?

You do not have to pay tax and national insurance contributions on all of your income. You can also get a tax credit. This means you will pay less in tax and contributions. You can only get the tax credit on 1 of your incomes.

You want to change the way your tax credit is applied

If you want us to change the tax credit on your pension or benefit, you can let us know via My SVB. If you have other income, make sure you change the tax credit on your other income too. You should also make these changes so that they start in the same month. 

Make sure that the tax credit is applied to only 1 of your incomes at any given time. If you forget to do this, you will pay too little in tax.
