Changes to Dutch tax office

24 April 2026

We would like to inform you that the Dutch tax office and the Benefits Administration (“Toeslagen”) will switch from ING Bank to Rabobank as of 1st May 2026. Therefore, as of that date, all their bank account numbers will change.

What will change?
As of 1st May 2026, the bank account numbers for all your payments will change. The new bank account number will be stated in the payment details of all communications from the Dutch tax office and the Benefits Administration, such as tax assessments or refunds. This change applies to all types of taxes and/or benefits.

Payments after the transition

• Direct debit or iDEAL/Wero: you do not need to take any action, the Dutch tax office will adjust this automatically.
• Online banking: after the transition, use the new bank account number stated in the payment details and update your address book.
• Paper transfer form from your own bank: after 1st May 2026, use the new bank account number stated in the payment details.
• Periodic transfers: adjust the bank account number once you receive the new payment details.

Tax refunds as of 1st May 2026
Tax refunds will also be transferred from the new bank account number from 1st May 2026. Due to this transition, the refunds may be visible in your bank account later than usual.

Important
Please do not use the new account numbers before 1st May 2026. Until that date, the current ING bank accounts will remain valid. If you accidentally make a payment to an ING bank account after 1 May 2026, this will still be processed for the time being. It is not known how long this will remain the case. Therefore, please check carefully which bank account number you should use for all future payments.

Tip
Update the Dutch tax office and the Benefits Administration’s bank account number in the address book of your own bank.
