Starting on March 1, 2023, it’s time to file your income tax return. In these instructions, we’ll show you step by step how to incorporate your donation(s) in your tax return filing!

Step 1: Go to belastingdienst.nl

Click on ‘Inloggen’ (‘Log in’) at the upper right corner and follow the steps to log in on Mijn Belastingdienst (‘My Tax Service’, in Dutch only).

Step 2: Click on ‘Inkomstenbelasting’ (‘Income Tax’)

Step 3: Click on ‘Belastingjaar 2022’ (‘Tax Year 2022’)

Follow the steps to file your tax return.

Step 4: At ‘Uitgaven’ (‘Expenses’), tick the box for ‘Giften aan’ (‘Donations to’)

Once you’re at the step ‘Uitgaven’ (‘Expenses’) in the menu on the left, you tick the box ‘Giften aan’ (‘Donations to’) and click on ‘Akkoord’ (‘Approve’).

Step 5: Fill in your donations (per charity)

Hereafter, you’re asked to fill in your donations. Per charity, fill in the following information:

  • For the question ‘Was het een gift aan een ANBI (Algemeen Nut Beogende Instelling)?’ (‘Was it a donation to an ANBI?’), you always answer ‘Ja’ (‘Yes’) for donations through the platform of The Social Handshake.

  • You can find your charities and amounts in the email you received from us.

  • For ‘Gift aan’ (‘Donation to’), you fill in the name of the charity. The RSIN (identification number) is filled in automatically. You can check if you’ve selected the correct organisation with the RSIN via this link.

  • For ‘Bedrag’ (‘Amount’), you fill in the total amount that you’ve donated to this charity in 2022.

  • For a donation to a cultural charity (‘culturele instelling’), you receive an additional tax benefit. The additional benefit is calculated automatically in the filing of your tax return.

  • For the question ‘Was dit een periodieke gift die schriftelijk is vastgelegd?’ (‘Was this a periodic donation that was recorded in writing?’) you answer ‘Nee’ (‘No’).

  • With ‘Deed u nog een gift?’ (‘Did you do additional donations?’), you can add another charity. Also fill in donations besides those done through the platform of The Social Handshake.

Step 6: Done!

Complete the filing of your tax return. In case you filed your tax return before April 1, you’ll receive information from the Tax Authority about your tax benefit on July 1 latest!
