TAX DECLARATION

At the beginning of every year, you will have to make your tax declaration over the year that has passed. The landlord will be of your assistance. The Dutch tax institute is called De Belastingdienst. After you have made your tax declaration 3 results are possible:

  1. You do not receive any money from De Belastingdienst and you do not need to pay any money to the De Belastingdienst concerning rent allowance, since the amount of rent allowance that you have received was correct.
  2. You will receive a refund from De Belastingdienst concerning rent allowance, since you have received less rent allowance than you were entitled to.
  3. You will have to pay an amount to De Belastingdienst concerning rent allowance, since you have received more rent allowance than you were entitled to.

What do these results mean for you?

1You do not have to do anything.

2You will receive an amount on your bank account from De Belastingdienst. This amount is additional rent allowance. Therefore this amount needs to be transferred by you to the landlord.

3De Belastingdienst will send you an invoice with an amount that you have to pay. You need to pay this amount to De Belastingdienst.

RENTAL AGREEMENT

You will receive a rental agreement that allows you to stay in your accommodation for the full period of your study. You do not need to apply for any extensions of your rental agreement. You may end the rental agreement with a notice period of one calendar month at any moment. When you end the agreement, you need to inform De Belastingdienst, since this will have consequences for the rent allowance. The landlord will assist you with this.

UPON ARRIVAL

From 7 up to and including 9 August 2013 between 9.00 and 17.00 hours, prior to the TU/e Introduction Program, a Meet and Greet Service from TU/e will be available to students. A taxi service will be available these days to take you to your accommodation. There you will sign your rental agreement, and receive your keys. The landlord will then also make an appointment with you to fill out the application for rent allowance (this can be done after you have received your BSN number). During the TIP you will register yourself at the town hall. A little while after your registration you will receive a letter with your BSN number.

Since the accommodations are being built at this moment, there is a possibility that the accommodations will not be ready for use upon your arrival. In that case the landlord will provide you with a temporary accommodation in a hotel (or similar) at maximum 10 km distance from TU/e. As soon as the accommodations are ready for use, you will move to your permanent accommodation.
