If you fail to pay in time you sometimes have to pay interest. In other instances, GBLT has to pay interest to you. Both types of interest are called recovery interest. After your payment, we will first send you a letter about this.
Situation 1: You have to pay interest to GBLT
After your payment we automatically calculate how much interest you have to pay. The later you made your payment, the more interest you will have to pay. Is the amount of interest less than €23.00? Then you do not have to pay the interest.
The recovery interest is the statutory interest. This is 4 %.
How can you pay?
- With iDEAL in Mijn Loket.
Log onto Mijn Loket - Transfer the amount yourself, to GBLT bank account NL82 DEUT 0319 8046 15. Please quote the assessment number on the interest letter. Are you paying from abroad? Then you will also need the BIC or Swift code: DEUTNL2A.
Do you disagree with the amount of interest you have to pay?
You can let GBLT know. This is called lodging an objection. You must lodge your objection within 6 weeks of the date on the interest letter. Read more about lodging an objection.
Pay the total amount stated in the interest letter within 14 days. Or, in your objection, ask for a payment deferral.
Situation 2: GBLT must pay you interest
In two cases, GBLT pays recovery interest to you:
- We had to make a repayment to you. Did we not do so within the regulatory 6 weeks? Then we have to pay you interest.
- You asked for a payment deferral in your objection but did not get it. Do we decide to reduce the tax assessment? Then GBLT will pay interest to you.
GBLT reimburses a recovery interest rate of 4 %.
