In Rijswijk, located in the Haaglanden region near The Hague, upon divorce, pension must be divided in accordance with the Act on Equalisation of Pension Rights upon Divorce. Local courts such as those in The Hague handle many divorce cases from Rijswijk, where taxation in box 1 applies: equalisation is fiscally neutral, but the timing of accrual and payout determines the ultimate tax burden. An early pension from your ex-partner in Rijswijk gives you a claim on future AOW and supplementary pensions. Procedure: notify within 2 years after the divorce date to the pension fund; Rijswijk notaries often advise quick action due to regional waiting times. Local costs: €150-350 per pension scheme, depending on the fund administrator. Advantages of buy-out: one-time payout without long-term risks such as partner pension clauses, but beware of higher wealth tax in box 3. Example: a pension of €200,000 divided in Rijswijk yields a claim of €100,000. Consult a specialised notary in Rijswijk or Delft for a personal calculation and avoid pitfalls such as local wealth yield tax.
