The deadline has passed, but you can still file. A default fine (€469 the first time) only follows if you do not respond to a reminder and a formal demand from the Belastingdienst. The sooner you file, the smaller the risk. We do the return together, at your own pace.

Own a home in the Zaan region?
Get money back every month
If you own a home, you can apply for or adjust a preliminary tax refund at any time. You receive your mortgage benefit monthly into your account, instead of once a year after your tax return. How much depends on your mortgage and income.
- ✓ Mortgage interest deduction. You pay less tax on your income
- ✓ Monthly refund, no waiting a year, direct to your account
- ✓ Imputed rental value (eigenwoningforfait), we calculate everything correctly
- ✓ Transfer tax: 2% for your own home, as in 2025. First-time buyers aged 18 to 35 pay 0% up to a home value of €555,000 (was €525,000)
- ✓ We do it for you, arranged within 1 week
* Indicative example with an example home of € 340.000 and a WOZ value equal to the purchase price. 2026 rates: 35.75% up to € 38.883 and 37.56% above; mortgage interest is deductible at no more than 37.56%. The higher amount applies if your income stays above € 38.883 after the deduction; otherwise your benefit lies in between. In the top bracket the interest is deducted at the capped rate while the imputed rental value is added to your income at the full rate, so the benefit is lower. We calculate the exact amount for you.

Everything you want to know
A preliminary tax refund is a monthly payment from the Belastingdienst (Dutch tax authority) based on an estimate of your tax benefit. For example, if you have mortgage interest deduction, you can receive this benefit monthly instead of once a year after your tax return. How much depends on your mortgage and income. Ideal if you have just bought a house.
Once we have submitted the application for you, the Dutch tax authority usually processes it within 4 to 8 weeks. After that you receive the amount in your account each month. We recommend arranging this as soon as possible after your home purchase.
Yes, we are happy to come to your home. Especially for seniors this is often the most comfortable option. You have all your papers at hand and we calmly guide you through the whole process. This applies to all of Zaanstad: Zaandam, Krommenie, Assendelft, Wormerveer and surrounding villages.
It depends on your situation, but think of: your DigiD, annual statement(s) from employer or pension, WOZ valuation (property tax assessment), annual mortgage statement, bank statements (for Box 3), and any healthcare costs or donations overviews. After you sign up, we send you a personal checklist.
No problem. You can file a correction up to 5 years back. We review your earlier tax return and submit a corrected version if deductions were missed. This falls under our standard rate.
Yes. A preliminary tax refund for 2026 can be applied for or adjusted at any time of the year. Whether you're moving house, changing your mortgage, or adjusting your income, we'll arrange it for you within 1 week.
