Applying for Part-Time Pension and Rules in Westland

In Westland, partial pension combines working in greenhouses with partial pension drawdown, tailored to the local horticultural sector with specific fiscal rules. From age 55, you can draw 10-50% while working part-time in areas such as 's-Gravenzande or Naaldwijk, without full revision interest. Fiscally, this falls under box 1, retaining partial employment tax credit – crucial for Westland horticulturalists with seasonal peaks. Benefits: smoother AOW accrual and flexible income planning around harvest times. Disadvantage: pro-rata pension reduction still applies. Example: with 50% part-time pension, you receive €800 net extra per month on €1,600 gross pension, perfect for growers in Poeldijk. Rules vary per fund; collective labour agreements in the horticulture sector, such as those with LTO Noord, offer extra flexibility for Westland. Apply in good time via your pension administrator such as ABP or PFZW and expect 3 months processing time. Optimise your bridge pension with this, especially given the high labour participation in this region.
