Objection Procedure Against Rent Allowance Recovery in Westland
Do you receive a recovery decision for rent allowance in Westland? File an objection with the Tax Authorities within 6 weeks and protect your rights. Step-by-step guide with local tips for success.
Living in Westland, such as in Naaldwijk, Monster or Kwintsheul, and do you receive a letter about overpaid rent allowance due to the high rental prices in this glasshouse horticulture region? You have exactly 6 weeks to file an objection with the Tax Authorities/Allowances. Draft a letter with your allowance number, the date of the decision and a clear explanation of why you disagree. Attach supporting documents, such as a recent income statement from the greenhouses or fish auction, your rental agreement with a Westland housing corporation such as Vidomes or HagaWonen, or evidence of exceptional circumstances such as seasonal work in horticulture.
Send the objection letter to the address on the letter or file it digitally via Mijn toeslagen on mijn.belastingdienst.nl. The Allowances Service in Utrecht will reopen your file and normally decide within 8 weeks, extendable to 12 weeks in complex cases such as variable income in Westland. Do you have financial difficulties due to declining glasshouse horticulture yields? Immediately request a deferral of payment with an overview of your expenses, such as energy costs for your home.
If the objection is rejected? Proceed within 6 weeks to the District Court of The Hague, Administrative Law Division, which has jurisdiction for Westland. Pay €91 court fee, which you will get back in the event of a favourable judgment. Increase your chances of success by reporting changes in a timely manner, such as income dips due to crop diseases, and providing complete documentation.
