The World Income Statement (Wereldinkomen) is a document in which income earned both inside and outside the Netherlands is reported. It is related to any subsidy you have applied for with the Tax and Customs Administration (Toeslagen).
1. When do you receive this document?
This form is only received from the Tax and Customs Administration (Toeslagen) if you or your partner have received any type of subsidy during the time you lived in the Netherlands. The form corresponds to the fiscal year in which you have resided in the country.
For example, if you have applied for subsidies such as healthcare allowance (Zorgtoeslag) or childcare allowance (Kinderopvangtoeslag), you are likely to receive this form. If you have a partner, both of you will generally receive the Wereldinkomen form.
2. Is it related to the tax return?
It is common to confuse this document (Wereldinkomen) with the tax return (Inkomstenbelasting), but they are separate. The Opgaaf Wereldinkomen is independent of the tax return.
3. What information should be provided in this form?
The form should include the total income earned worldwide, both income from the Netherlands and income from other countries.
4. Does submitting and completing this document (Wereldinkomen) mean submitting my tax return (Inkomstenbelasting)?
Submitting this form does not mean submitting your tax return (Inkomstenbelasting). By completing and submitting this document, you are only updating the information about your worldwide income so that the Tax and Customs Administration (Toeslagen) can determine if the subsidy received has been correct.
5. Is it mandatory to submit this form?
Yes, it is mandatory to provide the requested information in this form. This allows for the correct adjustment of the subsidy information. If the received subsidy was less than what was entitled, you may be eligible for an additional refund of the subsidy. On the other hand, if the subsidy was greater than what you should have received, you may have to repay part or all of the subsidy.
