In Tilburg, where many couples divorce via local courts such as those at Schapenmarkt, pension must be divided according to the Pension Equalization upon Divorce Act. Fiscally, rights fall into box 1; equalization is neutral, but timing significantly affects the tax burden. An early pension from your ex-partner in the Midden-Brabant region creates a claim right to future State Pension (AOW) and supplementary pension via funds such as ABP or PFZW, common among Tilburg civil servants and healthcare workers. Procedure: report this within 2 years after the divorce to the pension fund, ideally with the help of a Tilburg notary from the city center. Costs: €100-300 per arrangement, excluding notary fees around €500-800 in Tilburg. Advantages of buyout: one-time payment without future risks such as inflation or fund bankruptcies, but note higher box 3 tax. Example: a €200,000 pension claim in Tilburg, divided after divorce at the East Brabant District Court, gives a €100,000 claim. Local tip: consult a pension advisor in the Spoorzone for simulations, and have a Tilburg family law attorney or notary calculate the optimal equalization to maximize tax benefits.
