Many of you have asked what eigenwoningforfait<\/strong> means in your annual Dutch income tax return. Here is a brief overview of what you need to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eigenwoningforfait<\/strong> is a notional (fictional) income<\/strong> that the Dutch Tax Administration (Belastingdienst) adds to your taxable income if you own and live in your own home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is not an actual payment<\/strong>, but a calculated amount that increases your taxable income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea behind this rule is that owning your own home provides a financial benefit\u2014such as not having to pay rent\u2014and this benefit is taken into account for tax purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How is it calculated?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Belastingdienst uses the property’s WOZ value<\/strong> (official property value) as the basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • A percentage of the WOZ value is treated as notional income.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • In 2026, the eigenwoningforfait<\/strong> generally ranges between 0.50% and 0.80%<\/strong>, depending on the value of the property.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The calculated amount is added to your Box 1<\/strong> income in your tax return.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Example<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • WOZ value: \u20ac350,000<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Eigenwoningforfait: 0.60%<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Notional income: \u20ac350,000 \u00d7 0.006 = \u20ac2,100<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      This amount is added to your taxable income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      What are the consequences?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Your taxable income increases, which may result in higher income tax<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • If you have a mortgage<\/strong>, the mortgage interest is generally tax-deductible. This often partly or fully offsets the impact of the eigenwoningforfait, especially during the first years of the mortgage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Tip:<\/strong> The higher your deductible mortgage interest, the smaller the actual tax impact of the eigenwoningforfait<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
