The Tax and Customs Administration received more than 9.3 million tax returns between March 1 and May 1. On the last day, a record number of 347,000 returns was received, the tax authorities reported on Saturday.
The number of returns is slightly lower than in 2019: at that time, the Tax and Customs Administration processed no less than 9.5 million returns, a record number.
Before 1 April, six million Dutch people had already filed their declaration. About 1.3 million of them have now been notified of their provisional and final attacks. The Tax and Customs Administration hopes to send a message to the rest of the group before 1 July.
More people were postponed this year. Last year there were 2.7 million. The increase may be due to the adjusted public campaign: the possibility of applying for postponement was emphasized more emphatically because of the corona crisis.
It was a “special tax return period”, says Liane Vlaskamp, General Manager of the Tax and Customs Administration. “Unfortunately, because of the corona measures, we have not yet been able to personally help the people who really need help with reporting.”
“Hopefully this will be possible again soon. We have met these people by granting them automatic postponement where necessary.”
