Do you receive a pension and do you receive allowances? Then pay attention if the pension is increased. A higher income affects allowances such as rent allowance and health care allowance. Allowances can become lower or even stop due to a higher income. Therefore, always report changes in your income to the Tax and Customs Administration (Belastingdienst). This way you avoid having to repay allowances.
