Reader question: How can I receive a tax credit for my Thai wife?
Dear readers,
Mid 2012 I married my Thai girlfriend. At the end of 2014, she was assigned a BSN number (Registratie Niet Inresidente) by the tax authorities in the Netherlands.
Since it was not possible to fill in the correct information regarding our relationship with the 2013 tax return, I recently did so. However, what struck me was that it did not generate any financial result in the final balance. When I wanted to change the declaration to a declaration for her and myself, I was asked for a generation code from the tax authorities. However, I do not have that code and I do not know who should request it.
My question now is how can I receive the additional tax credit from the tax authorities given my marital status? The tax authorities are not generous with their information on this subject….
For further information: my wife does not live in the Netherlands and has no assets or income and has therefore not filed a tax return to date.
With kind regards,
Henk
HI Henk, I have the same problem. So if you find out anything, please let me know, thank you very much in advance, best regards, Erik
Hello Hank
I 'm in the same boat .
Requested a BSN number from the tax authorities, received it after almost 2 years.
My wife does not get a visa for the Netherlands because I earn too little to support her
in the Netherlands.
Seems to be cheaper to have two households and houses.
Have also applied for a tax credit so far have not heard anything.
If you get an answer from tax let me know what and how, if I hear something I will do the same
greetings Jo
Offtopic but I don't want to deprive Jo and his wife that there are alternatives if Jo's income is sufficient (less than full-time basis 100% minimum wage or not sustainable enough). 1) let your partner guarantee himself with 34 euros per day. 2) go on holiday to another EU country then you fall under more flexible conditions with, among other things, no income requirement. More info: Schengen visa file, in the menu on the left of this blog.
Ontopic: if you live in NL, the employer often asks if you want to have the payroll tax credit settled as standard. Of course we do that on my and her salary. In addition, file a voluntary declaration neatly. My partner also received a small amount back, I have not received anything for a few years.
You must process this yourself in your tax return, your partner is also your tax partner.
My girlfriend is my tax partner, she has no income. I file a tax return for both of us and transfer the benefit from the tax credit to me, I don't know if I'm describing it completely correctly, but that's how it works in the end. That advantage decreases every year.

Sorry, had just read over the fact that she does not live in the Netherlands. That is my situation.
the tax credit has lapsed completely if you live abroad for Dutch citizens. So I assume for wives who are not Dutch that it is impossible! Both I and my Dutch partner (living in Thailand) have lost our tax credit. Still more than 100 euros per month less!
Proud of you also for those who live in the Netherlands, the tax credits have expired or lower, and I live in the Netherlands, the difference is 600 euros. Checkout
I would really like to understand what Christina means. Did you get more or less? What does the beginning of the first sentence of the two you wrote mean?
To obtain a tax credit for your tax partner, you must state who that is in your tax return. Subsequently, she must apply for a social security number and file a paper tax return. The condition for a refund is that you pay sufficient tax yourself!
I applied for it in 2013 retroactively from 2009 (year of marriage) for my wife living in Thailand, and it went without any problems.
Incidentally, the refund will be canceled from this year, this applies to everyone with a partner outside the European area.
People apparently prefer to keep the pennies in Europe to give to Greece.
A correct answer. Just a few notes.
I read that the tax partner already has a BSN number.
Start by completing the paper declaration (model C) with your own details.
And why a paper declaration? With the tax program of the Tax and Customs Administration to file a digital return (with DigiD or an electronic signature) you get stuck in 2 places. If you answer the question “Did you live in …… in the Netherlands with “yes” then you cannot continue. And this is the case for one of the partners. To do so, you must fill in either a P form (all year in the Netherlands) or an M form (part of the year in the Netherlands). But you also get stuck with the question about the country of residence. And why? Computers are really just dumb things. What is put in comes out and (fortunately) no more. And these kinds of non-standard situations are “not built in” and therefore cannot be handled by the program. “We can't make it easier for you”!
If the Netherlands gives money to Greece, it will take the form of a loan. And successive ministers have always told us that such a loan, even with a profit, will come back. OR DO YOU (ALSO) THINK NOT?
Sjaak will explain it to you Christina means in the first sentence, take comfort because she gets 600 euros less but does not say whether that is per month or year, so if it is per year it is not too bad, if it is per month she has a wonderful salary, satisfied sjaak with the explanation.
Tony, your answer to Sjaak doesn't make it much clearer for me. Cristina writes that she lives in the Netherlands and that she has to surrender € 600 due to the expiry or reduction of the tax credits.
But: the tax credits have even increased in total. She may have been born after 31-12-1971 and therefore has to deal with the phasing out of the general tax credit, but this phasing out was already started in 2009 and will end in 2023 with € 0 in general tax credit. That was known for a while and therefore foreseeable. Incidentally, the result of this reduction for 2015 is only limited.
Things would be different if she lived in Thailand, for example. As of 2015, tax credits will indeed expire, resulting in a decrease in your disposable income to insignificant amounts!
The most extreme example that I have calculated for someone is a married “65+er” with a monthly AOW benefit with a supplement of € 1.250 and a government pension of also € 1.250. Decrease in disposable family income (so for both of them) more than € 3.600 per year and then we are talking about different numbers! There are 3 reasons for this:
1. you lose your own tax credits;
2. there will no longer be a payment of (part of) the general tax credit to your tax partner, and
3. you are dealing with an income tax rate increase in the first 2 brackets of 3%; resident taxpayers are compensated for this by a reduction in the national insurance contributions, also by 3%.
A lot of attention has already been paid to the loss of the tax credits on this blog.
Conclusion: from all the calculations I have made so far, it appears that if you live in the Netherlands, you will in the vast majority of cases have to deal with a higher net income!
