About the Advocate for Taxpayers and Benefit Recipients
The Interest Advocate is a new independent institute that is being established to supplement available legal assistance in the Netherlands. In the field of legal assistance in tax and benefit matters, this is not always sufficiently accessible to everyone. The Ministry of Finance is therefore – at the request of the cabinet – setting up this extra safety net.
For more information, see the commitment to the House about accessible independent tax legal assistance.
