IMPORTANT UPDATE - REQUIRES YOUR ACTION
Update from Legal Team
The legal team has been spending a lot of time to come to a practical solution with the tax authorities in an effort to reduce the administrative burden for all participants. Up until this week, the tax authorities were not willing to accept any proposal. Our team has continued to urge the tax authorities to agree with an approach that is efficient for all parties involved. We are very happy to tell that these efforts seem to be rewarded now…
Yesterday, the tax authorities have agreed to start negotiations to come to an agreement. If an agreement will be reached, no monthly letters have to be sent anymore. It remains a requirement that - for all of you at least one complete letter of contest will be handled by the tax authorities, so pending requests for information still have to be answered (the legal team will assist you). However, invitations for hearings, etc will no longer have to be answered.
IMPORTANT STEP
It is extremely important that you can only benefit from this agreement with the tax authorities if you have allowed our legal team to act on your behalf. We therefore advise you to:
Open the Word document
Personalize the document by replacing NAAM with your name, ADRES with your private address and xxxx.xx.xxx with your BSN
Print the personalized document
Sign and date the printed document
Scan or make a photo of the signed document (you can use a free downloadable scanning app)
Send the scan or photo to the legal team at unitedexpats@taxperience.nl.
When sending the signed power of attorney, please also mention in your email if there are any pending requests for information. If so, please include or attach the latest correspondence. The legal team will inform you if and how you have to respond
For now, as we work to come to an agreement with the tax authorities, it is important that you continue to file the monthly letters of contest. So, please make sure to do so. The legal team will remain in touch with the tax authorities to make sure that next steps can be taken on short notice. They will do their utmost to come to an agreement as soon as possible,
