Combining Rent Allowance and Points System in Tilburg

Rent allowance is available for lower incomes in Tilburg, including private sector homes with points assessment. The allowance covers up to 35% of the difference between rent and an income-dependent deduction. For 2024, a maximum rent limit of €900 applies for singles, but for points-assessed rental properties in Tilburg neighbourhoods such as Het Zand or Oud-Zuid, you can receive allowance if the calculated rent falls below this. Calculate your entitlement via toeslagen.nl using income, assets, and rent price. Increases via points assessment may reduce allowance, so check adjustments with the Municipality of Tilburg or Huurteam Tilburg. In case of objection to an increase, you may retain more allowance; the Woonbond advice centre in Tilburg can assist. Housing associations such as WonenBreburg must take rent allowance into account during indexation in the city. Incorrect rent prices lead to clawback of allowance by the Tax Authorities. Tip: register your tenancy agreement with the Tax Authorities for automatic calculation and consult the Tilburg Tenants' Union for local checks. In 2023, 1.2 million households benefited nationwide, with many Tilburg residents in social and mid-segment homes. Combine with income support via the municipality for optimal benefit in the region.
