Extending your Household Allowance

Extending your Household Allowance - We kindly ask you to send us as soon as possible your spouse’s most recent tax return

date:  01/06/2021

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

The household allowance that you receive in respect of your spouse is about to expire.

 

We kindly ask you to send us as soon as possible your spouse’s most recent tax return or any other official document concerning their income for 2019 and, if already available, for 2020, so that we can assess the possibility of extending the allowance.

 

Please submit your ‘Spouse/recognised partner’s professional activity/income’ declaration via the SYSPER POST ACTIVITY application. This will make it easier for you to send the supporting documents required and will ensure that your file is dealt with more quickly.

If you need help creating your EU Login, please contact the ‘Tokens’ department either by phone on +32 2 29 76888 (Monday to Friday, from 9.30 to 12.30) or by sending an email to pmo-eu-login@ec.europa.eu.

 

Please note that the SYSPER POST ACTIVITY application offers you a range of services such as the ability to change your address and/or family composition, and access to your pension slips, certificates, tax certificates and your historical data. Moreover, using this tool allows for faster and more structured communication.

 

If you have trouble submitting your declaration in SYSPER POST ACTIVITY, the attached guide on the ‘declaration of your spouse’s professional activity’ will take you step by step through the process of submitting your application.

 

Should you have any questions on your entitlements to family allowances, do not hesitate to contact us on +32 2 29 78800 ext.7 (Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9.30 to 12.30).

 

Please disregard this message if you have already sent us the required information.
