A rent allowance amount to be repaid can be overwhelming in Rijswijk, especially with the high rental prices in neighbourhoods such as Innen or Oud-Rijswijk. Fortunately, the Tax Authorities offer tailored repayment arrangements. Apply for a personal payment arrangement via Mijn Toeslagen if your debt is under € 20,000. Opt for monthly instalments, such as 1-2% of the amount, tailored to your income and fixed expenses in Rijswijk. The arrangement lasts a maximum of 36 months, but can be extended in exceptional circumstances such as illness or job loss. Important: always pay on time to avoid collection costs. Is your debt higher? Contact the municipal debt assistance service in Rijswijk via the social counter (telephone 14070 or rijswijk.nl). Examples: for a debt of € 5,000 you can repay € 150 per month, suitable for a modal income in Rijswijk. Use the calculation tool on toeslagen.nl to check your repayment capacity. Rights: you may adjust the arrangement free of charge in the event of a decrease in income, for example due to unemployment benefits or social assistance. Obligations: report changes directly to the Tax Authorities. In Rijswijk you can also go to SchuldHulpMaatschappij (SHM) Haaglanden for free advice. With a good arrangement, you maintain financial peace and prevent enforced collection via wage or benefit garnishment.
