Overview

Entrepreneurs can access various allowances that reduce overall tax burdens or provide financial support. Key benefits include health and housing allowances, which can supplement income based on your tax filings and income level. TaxiTax provides guidance on eligibility requirements and how to maximize these allowances.
Available Allowances:

  1. Health Allowance (Zorgtoeslag): Health allowance helps cover insurance costs for those below a specific income threshold. Eligibility is based on income and family size, with a maximum income limit of €47,368 for individuals.
  2. Housing Allowance (Huurtoeslag): Housing allowance is available to those meeting income and rental price limits. For example, an income of €30,000 with a rental cost of €750/month can provide approximately €150 per month in housing allowance.
  3. Childcare Allowance (Kinderopvangtoeslag): For entrepreneurs with children, childcare allowance can cover up to 70% of childcare costs based on income. As income increases, the percentage covered by the allowance decreases.
  4. Child Budget (Kindgebonden Budget): An additional yearly benefit for families with children. This allowance varies by income and family size, with support provided up to a maximum income of around €55,000. )
