Tax credit for partner with little or no income
A special tax credit is available if your partner earns no or very little income. In some cases we apply this tax credit automatically, while in other cases you will need to apply for it.
Good to know
- There is an income threshold for your partner. This amount varies by year and age. You can search for this threshold in the tables.
- Is this tax credit not shown on your annual statement, or do you think the amount is too low? Then apply to us for the credit, by objecting to the annual statement. Always enclose a copy of the final tax assessment for yourself and your partner.
When do we apply this tax credit automatically?
- Your partner is co-insured with you through the CAK.
- You pay a healthcare contribution for your partner to the CAK.
- Your partner cannot apply for this tax credit in the Netherlands, as you have not opted to be liable for tax in the Netherlands.
When can you apply for this tax credit retroactively?
- You have received a final annual statement from us.
- Your partner has little or no income. Please check the income threshold in the tables.
- Your partner has first asked the Tax Administration to apply this tax credit.
