Opgaaf Wereldinkomen box 3 specification for non-residents / diplomats

Hi,

I am in a similar situation. Did you manage to get any more information on this?
It would be helpful if you can share.

Thanks

I never shared the answer to this, and I figured that I should do for anyone searching.

The answer was that yes, I should be specifying everything on the Opgaaf Wereldinkomen form, regardless of tax liability. In my case, it is used only to calculate the kinderopvangtoeslag amount that we are eligible to receive, which bares no relevance to the tax liability. ie. the benefit received from kinderopvangtoeslag is more in line with your true wealth rather than your tax-liable wealth. The one exception I found to this was with the 30% ruling, where you still specify the 'reduced' gross salary in the box 1 part.

The figures presented do not get used for the tax return, but as far as I know, the information entered is still shared among the belastingdienst departments (maybe should they ever wish to question it).

Additionally, in situations where you claim kinderopvangtoeslag and you have property abroad etc, if you can calculate the figures in advance, then it is better to use that total income figure from the end of the Opgaaf Wereldinkomen form as the estimated income figure that you plug in to the kinderopvangtoeslag website, rather than the one calculated using that online tool that they provide.  This is because they ultimately correct it later on the final decision to be the exact figure that you presented on the Opgaaf Wereldinkomen form, which can then involve a repayment. The online tool is just not broad enough to cover the broader complicated cases. In any case, 'it all comes out in the wash' once they've made the final decision.

Thanks for the followup! Valuable information.
