Payroll tax
If you work, you are eligible for tax reduction in the form of tax deductions. You can apply for or terminate a payroll tax deduction via the PSSC.
Payroll tax and tax credits
Payroll tax is an umbrella name for income tax, social security contribution, employee insurance premiums and the income-related healthcare insurance deducted from your income.
Tax credits (heffingskortingen) are reductions on the payroll tax and social security contribution. If you work, you will in any case be entitled to an payroll tax credit. This consists of a general tax credit and an income-related credit. You may only receive this tax credit from one employer or benefits agency at a time.
