In Tilburg, you can apply for waiver of rent allowance debts in cases of serious financial problems, especially if your income is below the social assistance level and your assets are lower than the exemption threshold (€7,575 for single persons in 2024). Start by completing the 'Request for Waiver of Tax Credit Debt' form on toeslagen.nl and attach supporting documents of your income, expenses, and assets. The Tax Authorities assess whether the debt is 'excusable': no fraud or intent involved, and you can never repay the debt. In Tilburg, many applicants combine this with extraordinary assistance from the municipality, to be applied for via the Wmo counter or the social services at Stadhuislaan. Upon approval, the Tax Authorities waive the debt in full or in part. Received a rejection? File an objection with the Tax Authorities within six weeks. Local practice examples from Tilburg show success for chronically ill persons with high care costs in neighbourhoods such as Oud-Zuid or for those on minimum income with energy bills due to rising gas prices. Exclusion applies in cases of gross negligence or deliberate deception. Contact the Juridisch Loket Tilburg (Stationsstraat 59) for free advice. This way, you get a clean slate in Tilburg and escape from an unaffordable rent allowance debt.
