How belastingen work according to my girlfriend

  1. Disclaimer: my gf was born and raised in Belgium and has dutch as her mother tongue. Hell, she even teaches dutch at school. This is just a private conversation and the way we speak in our private texts does not reflect in any way, shape or form outside of these convos. It’s a little inside joke which has become our standard way of conversing when not discussing serious business.

  2. She isn’t really that wrong, at this point you have so many different rules and “vakjes” that it is becoming “vogelpik” of what you receive.

  3. I mean is she wrong?
    Ive been in the workforce for 3 years, the Exact same situation, the Exact same job, no differentiating factors AT ALL and yet these were my taxes last 3 years:
    Y1: received 600 euros
    Y2: paid 200 euros
    Y3: received 400 euros

    No idea how thats possible

  4. I don’t get all the comments about the Dutch. This is totally comprehensible sms Dutch… Apart from the one sentence which was clearly a typo (in a fucking sms who gives a shit)…

    You two seem fun. Houden zo.

    The idea of civil servants à la De Collega’s playing vogelpik with tax returns cracked me up. 🤣
