Continue paying by direct debit after divorce
Do you want to continue paying your taxes by direct debit? Then check:
- What name is on the tax assessment? If it’s correct, you don’t need to do anything.
- Is the bank account number for direct debit still correct? You can find this information in MijnGBLT. Are you using a different bank account number after the divorce? If so, please update it.
Is the tax assessment in your ex-partner’s name?
And do you pay by direct debit from your bank account? In that case, revoke your authorization. You can do this through your online banking portal. Or you can send us a letter to that effect.
Has money already been withdrawn from your account? You can have debits reversed within 56 days. This is called a reversal, and you can arrange it through your online banking portal.
Is the tax assessment in your name?
Are you paying from an account whose name is changing because your ex-partner is no longer a joint account holder? If so, you must first revoke the authorization and then, 2 days later, reauthorize the direct debit in MijnGBLT.
Did you transfer the joint account to your name?
The name change does not affect the direct debit authorization. We therefore recommend that you verify that all direct debits are associated with your household.
