IOW EARLY RETIREMENT

Which is actually not early retirement, but financial support for older unemployed people

Have you become unemployed after the age of 60? You may not be left without income after your WW benefits end!

Many people assume that once their Dutch WW (unemployment benefit) ends, they simply have to wait until they reach the AOW state pension age. However, this is not always the case.

If you meet certain conditions, you may be entitled to IOW benefits after your WW ends, providing you with an income until you reach the AOW state pension age.

What is IOW?

IOW (Wet Inkomensvoorziening Oudere Werklozen) is a benefit that provides financial support to older unemployed people during the period between the end of their WW benefits and the start of their AOW state pension.

Who is eligible?

You may generally be entitled to IOW if:

you were at least 60 years and 4 months old on the first day of your unemployment;
you were entitled to WW benefits;
your WW benefits lasted more than 3 months because you met the employment history requirements;
your WW benefits reached their maximum duration;
you have not yet reached the AOW state pension age.
How long can you receive IOW?

If you are eligible, IOW starts after your WW benefits end and can be paid until you reach the AOW state pension age.

Why is IOW beneficial?

One of the main advantages of IOW is that:

your personal assets are not taken into account, such as savings or your own home;
your spouse's or partner's income is not taken into account;
this means you do not have to use up your savings before you can receive the benefit.
How much is the IOW benefit?

The amount of IOW is based on your previous WW benefit, but it cannot exceed the social minimum for a single person.

As of 1 July 2026, this is €1,644.74 gross per month for a single person. For married couples or partners, the total amount is €2,294.40 gross per month.

If you have other income or pension income, this may affect the amount of your benefit.

Important to know

IOW is not automatic and is not early retirement. You must apply for the benefit through UWV when your WW benefits are coming to an end. UWV generally allows you to submit your application 5 weeks before your WW benefits end.

In summary

If you become unemployed after the age of 60 years and 4 months and are entitled to WW benefits, it is worth looking into your options in advance. After your WW benefits end, you may be entitled to IOW benefits until you reach the AOW state pension age.

For many people, this can provide important financial security during the transition between employment and retirement.

RVU Early Retirement in the Netherlands – Who Is Eligible and How Does It Work from 2026?

Many people have heard of the Dutch RVU (Regeling voor Vervroegde Uittreding), or early retirement scheme, but not everyone knows that it is not an automatic government benefit. Instead, it is an arrangement that an employer and employee can agree upon. It is primarily intended for people who have performed physically or mentally demanding work for many years and who can no longer continue working in a healthy way until the official AOW retirement age.

What is the RVU?

The RVU allows an employee to stop working up to three years before reaching the AOW retirement age, while the employer pays a monthly benefit until the employee becomes eligible for AOW.

This is not a state pension, but rather a temporary benefit paid by the employer.

Who is eligible?

The RVU is primarily intended for people who:

perform physically or mentally demanding work;
are no longer able to continue working until retirement age for health-related reasons;
are no more than three years away from reaching the AOW retirement age.

In many sectors, the conditions are set out in a collective labour agreement (CAO), but an individual agreement can also be made with the employer.

How much is the RVU benefit?

In 2026, an employer can pay a maximum gross RVU benefit of €2,357 per month without having to pay a separate RVU tax.

For certain employees with a low income or low pension, this amount can be increased by an additional €300, meaning it can be as much as €2,657 gross per month.

Can everyone apply for it?

No.

The RVU is not an automatic entitlement, nor is every employer required to offer it. Eligibility depends on:

whether the employer is willing to enter into an RVU agreement;
whether the CAO contains provisions regarding the RVU;
whether the employee meets the applicable conditions.

What changed from 2026 onwards?

Previously, the RVU tax exemption was a temporary measure that was due to end at the end of 2025.

From 1 January 2026, the exemption has been maintained, meaning employers can continue to provide RVU benefits under the conditions laid down by law. This is particularly important for employees who perform physically demanding work.

Important to know

The RVU is not the same as a pension.

AOW only starts when you reach the official AOW retirement age.
The RVU is solely a temporary benefit until your AOW starts.
Tax and social security rules also apply to payments received under the RVU.

In summary

If you are only a few years away from reaching the AOW retirement age and your work has become physically or mentally too demanding, it is worth checking whether your employer or CAO provides an RVU option.

For many employees, the RVU can provide an opportunity to reach retirement age in better health and with less financial pressure.

🏡 When Do You Need a Permit for Work Around Your Home?

Do you know about the Omgevingsloket – Vergunningcheck?
Many people don’t know that in the Netherlands there is an official online service where you can check within a few minutes whether a permit is required for planned work, whether a notification is sufficient, or whether you can carry out the work without any further formalities.
The Omgevingsloket – Vergunningcheck is the Dutch government’s official system. It brings together national, municipal (gemeente), provincial (provincie), and water authority (waterschap) regulations in one place. The system takes into account the rules that apply specifically to the address or plot in question.

In the Omgevingsloket, you can check requirements for things such as:
🌳 Cutting down or heavily pruning a tree
🏗️ Construction, extensions, or renovations
🏡 Building a terrace, veranda, garden shed, or garage
🏊 Installing a swimming pool
🪟 Installing a skylight or modifying a roof
🔥 Installing a fireplace or heat pump
🚪 Installing a fence or creating a driveway (uitrit)
🌊 Work near waterways or other water-related projects
🏠 Running a business from your home
🌿 Various other construction, landscaping, and environmental activities

How does it work?
Enter the address or select the location on the map.
Select the type of work you want to carry out.
The system will ask you a few questions.
At the end, it will tell you whether:
a permit is required,
a notification is sufficient, or
the work can be carried out without a permit.
If a permit is required

The Omgevingsloket can be used not only to check the applicable rules, but also to submit the permit application or required notification.
Why is it worth checking every time?

Many people assume that “the neighbour didn’t need a permit either” or that “it’s only a small renovation.” However, the rules can differ from one municipality to another. Something that can be done without a permit in one gemeente may require a permit in another.

💡 Tip: Before starting any major work on your house or in your garden, it’s worth spending a few minutes using the Vergunningcheck. This can help you save time, money, and unnecessary hassle.

🚙When do you need to register a car brought from Hungary with Dutch license plates?

Many people move to the Netherlands with their own car that still has Hungarian license plates. One of the most common questions in this situation is how long you can drive with Hungarian plates and when you are required to register the car in the Netherlands.

If you live in the Netherlands, you generally need to register the car with Dutch license plates

If you have a registered address in the Netherlands (or, according to the rules, you are already required to register), the general rule is that you cannot use a foreign-registered car in the Netherlands on a permanent basis. In that case, you need to import the car and apply for Dutch license plates.

What about the first few months?

If you have only recently moved to the Netherlands, importing the car takes some time. Registering the car in the Netherlands involves several steps:
• RDW inspection and identification;
• filing a BPM tax return or applying for an exemption;
• applying for Dutch license plates;
• taking out Dutch mandatory car insurance.

You may be eligible for a BPM exemption when moving to the Netherlands
The good news is that if you move from Hungary to the Netherlands, you may not have to pay BPM, provided you meet certain conditions.

The most important conditions are:
• you lived in Hungary for at least 12 months before moving;
• you have owned the car for at least 6 months and have also used it;
• you bring the car with you as part of your move;
• you must apply for the BPM exemption within 12 months after moving to the Netherlands.

When do you not need Dutch license plates?

There are exceptions, for example:
• you are staying in the Netherlands as a tourist;
• you are driving a car provided by a foreign employer and have the required exemption;
• you qualify for an exemption based on your studies or another special status.

What should you keep in mind?

The Dutch authorities regularly check foreign-registered vehicles. If you live in the Netherlands but use a Hungarian-registered car without being entitled to do so, you may face tax, insurance and penalty consequences.
Every situation can be different, so it is advisable to check the rules that apply to your specific circumstances before moving to the Netherlands.

Did you know? If you meet the conditions for a BPM exemption, you could avoid paying several thousand euros in BPM when registering your car in the Netherlands. That is why it is worth checking whether you qualify for the exemption before starting the import process.
