We may set off your debt

If you are owed money from public authorities, for example because you have paid too much in tax, the Debt Collection Agency may set off the amount against your debt. This means that the money is used to make payment on your debt. If there is an amount left after such offsetting, it will be paid to you.

When you receive your tax assessment notice from the Tax Agency, you can see if you have paid too much in the past income year.

If you receive your tax assessment notice in March and you have overpaid tax, the amount will typically be credited to your account in mid-April. If you have not received the money by then, it may be because you or your spouse have debt to public authorities.

You will be notified as soon as possible by the Debt Collection Agency if we make a set-off against your overpaid tax.

If you are owed money after offsetting for the past income year, the excess amount will be paid into your NemKonto as soon as possible (typically in the middle part of April).

Unfortunately, we cannot expedite the payment, neither if you call us nor if you pay your debt quickly.

If you have questions about offsetting or your debt that is being collected by the Debt Collection Agency, you can contact us via our contact page.
