It allows the Dutch Tax and Customs Administration to collect part of the income tax in advance. If you\u2019re working as an employee, your employer already pays part of the income tax through the wage tax. The Tax and Customs Administration will therefore make an estimate of your situation, based on your income tax return from two years ago, as these are the most recent financial data they have of you. If your situation has changed in those two year, it\u2019s important that your provisional assessment is adjusted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Calculation<\/strong><br \/>\nSo, the provisional assessment needs to be paid in advance. This amount is set off against the final calculation that\u2019s part of the income tax return. If the payable amount of the provisional assessment proves to have been too high, you\u2019ll get the remainder back. If it turns out that you\u2019ve initially paid too little, you\u2019ll have to pay extra.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"text-image-left-block block\">\n    <div class=\"container\">\n        <div class=\"row\">\n\n            <div class=\"text-image-right-block__image-wrapper col-12 col-md-6 mb-4 mb-md-0\">\n\n                            <div class=\"w-100 text-image-right-block__image-container\">\n                    <!-- Image -->\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"\n                         class=\"image d-block w-100\"\n                         alt=\"The provisional assessment\"\n                         src=\"https:\/\/www-backup.keesdeboekhouder.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/pawel-czerwinski-OHMdiqZ4Auo-unsplash-3-scaled.jpg\"\n                         srcset=\"https:\/\/www-backup.keesdeboekhouder.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/pawel-czerwinski-OHMdiqZ4Auo-unsplash-3-scaled.jpg 1707w, https:\/\/www-backup.keesdeboekhouder.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/pawel-czerwinski-OHMdiqZ4Auo-unsplash-3-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www-backup.keesdeboekhouder.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/pawel-czerwinski-OHMdiqZ4Auo-unsplash-3-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www-backup.keesdeboekhouder.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/pawel-czerwinski-OHMdiqZ4Auo-unsplash-3-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www-backup.keesdeboekhouder.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/pawel-czerwinski-OHMdiqZ4Auo-unsplash-3-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www-backup.keesdeboekhouder.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/pawel-czerwinski-OHMdiqZ4Auo-unsplash-3-1365x2048.jpg 1365w\"\n                         sizes=\"(max-width: 1707px) 100vw, 1707px\" \/>\n                    <div class=\"rotated-label\">\n                        <label><\/label>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\n            \n            <\/div>\n\n            <!-- Text -->\n            <div class=\"text-image-left-block__text-wrapper rich-text col-12 offset-md-1 col-md-5 col-lg-4 col-xl-4\">\n                <p><strong>Request provisional assessment<\/strong><br \/>\nYou can always request or change your provisional assessment during the course of the year. And you can even use it to your advantage. When you file your income tax after 1 May, you\u2019ll pay <a href=\"https:\/\/www.keesdeboekhouder.nl\/en\/tax-interest\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">tax interest<\/a>. This can add up, especially if you\u2019ve made substantial profit and thus have a high income. And that, of course, is a waste of money. If you expect that you won\u2019t be able to submit your tax return before May 1st, you can pay part of your income tax in advance through the provisional assessment. Depending on the amount remaining after the final calculation, you will either pay less or no tax interest.<\/p>\n<p>If you have assets that fall in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.keesdeboekhouder.nl\/en\/what-you-should-know-about-box-3\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> box 3 <\/a> of the income taxation, the Tax and Customs Administration will assess your assets on January 1st of that year. You pay tax over your assets if the total exceeds 57.000 Euros on that date. In that case, the Tax and Customs Administration will also look at the balance of your private bank account, but not your business account. By requesting a provisional assessment at the end of the year, you can pay a considerable amount of income tax in advance. This payment is made from your private bank account, resulting in lower asset values on January 1st, and thus: less tax.<\/p>\n\n                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"text-block block columns-1\">\n    <div id=\"\" class=\"deeplink-anchor\"><\/div>\n    <div class=\"container\">\n        <div class=\"row\">\n            <div class=\"col-12 offset-lg-1 col-lg-10 offset-xl-2 col-xl-8\">\n                <div class=\"text-block__text-wrapper rich-text d-block\">\n                    <p><strong>Receiving tax refund<\/strong><br \/>\nIt\u2019s also possible that your provisional assessment shows that you\u2019ll get a tax refund. If you\u2019re a home-owner who\u2019s also working as an employee (so you already pay income tax through wage tax), there\u2019s a good chance you\u2019ll get a tax refund. This is mainly due to your mortgage interest. If you wish to receive this refund during the course of the year instead of after your income tax return has been submitted, you can also request a provisional assessment.<\/p>\n<p>Author: Michiel Brouwer <\/p>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every year, many people receive a blue envelope containing a \u2018provisional assessment\u2019 in their mail.
