When to Recalculate in Rijswijk?
Income changes such as dismissal by local employers, AOW pension, or additional income from part-time work in the Hague region trigger a recalculation. The Tax Authorities adjust the cap based on your provisional assessment or definitive income tax return. Does your income fall below the threshold for a Rijswijk rental property? Then your allowance increases retroactively; if exceeded, repayment often follows.
Report changes within 8 weeks after the change. Example: Your income drops from €28,000 to €22,000 due to job loss at a Rijswijk employer? Then you may qualify for €100 extra rent allowance per month, specifically tailored to average rental prices in neighborhoods such as Innen or Oud-Rijswijk.
