Adjusting your hourly rate with the Dutch Tax Authorities in 5 steps

Tips and advice

Starting January 1st, the hourly rate for our childcare services will change. To ensure you receive the correct childcare allowance, it’s important to update this change with the Dutch Tax Authorities. You can do this via the Tax Authorities website or the Childcare Allowance app. Below, we explain both methods step by step.

Via the Tax Authorities Website

 

  • Log in to Mijn Toeslagen using your DigiD
    Go to https://www.belastingdienst.nl and log in.
  • Click ‘Wijzigen’ (Change) under ‘Kinderopvangtoeslag’ (Childcare Allowance)
    You’ll see an overview of your allowances. Click ‘Er verandert iets in de kinderopvang’ (Something is changing in childcare).
  • Click the arrow next to ‘Kinderen’ (Children)
    A menu will expand. Click ‘Er verandert iets in de kinderopvang’ again.
  • Enter the date of the change
    For Kindergarden, this is always January 1st of the new year.
  • Indicate what is changing
    Choose ‘De gegevens van de huidige kinderopvang wijzigen’ (Change the details of the current childcare).
    For each location where your child is registered, select ‘Ja’ (Yes).
  • Enter the new hourly rate
    You’ll see six questions. Only fill in the new hourly rate under ‘Wat is het uurtarief?’ (What is the hourly rate?).
    Select ‘Nee’ (No) when asked ‘Wilt u al een einddatum doorgeven voor deze kinderopvanggegevens?’ (Do you want to provide an end date for these childcare details?).

You’ve now submitted the change. The Tax Authorities will process it, and you’ll receive a confirmation in your Message Box once it’s completed.
