Due to the introduction of the Law “Awir” (Algemene wet inkomensafhankelijke regelingen) the Dutch Tax Authorities will register only one verified bank account number per individual. A transitional arrangement is valid based upon which the Tax Authorities can still pay tax refunds to an unverified bank account number. This arrangement has been extended till July 1, 2015.
When a bank account number is provided for the first time the Tax Authorities will only accept a verified account that is in the name of the taxpayer concerned.
