A general assistant
A voorlopige aanslag is a provisional tax assessment. Check the amount and the payment dates in the letter. If something looks wrong you may be able to object. For advice about your own situation, consult a tax professional.
Where do I even start?
Is this a fine? What do they want from me?

One agent that knows your whole situation
Personal, proactive, and grounded in official Dutch sources.

A month ahead for health insurance, a week ahead for a letter’s deadline, and again when it is close.
Scan a letter from the gemeente, the Belastingdienst or the IND. See what it says, what it wants from you, and by when.
When an answer rests on a fact, it names the official page it came from, so you can check it yourself.

The same question, asked twice. General assistants are built to answer everything for everyone; Adapty is built for one journey, and it knows yours.
I got a letter from the Belastingdienst about a voorlopige aanslag. What do I do?
Adapty
This is an advance on your income tax, paid in monthly instalments. Its deadline is in your plan now, and I will remind you before it. If your income changes, adjust it in Mijn Belastingdienst so you do not pay too much.
