New Dutch Tax Authority bank account number

What, how and why?

The Dutch Tax Authority is changing the bank account number you use to make payments (or receive money from). This may seem like a small change, but it can have real impact—especially if you have set up recurring payments or work with an accounting system. So what exactly is changing? And what should you do (or not do)? Lupacompany breaks it down for you.

What is changing?

From 1 May 2026, the Dutch Tax Authority will use new bank account numbers. The most commonly used new IBAN will be:
NL04 RABO 0200 1122 44
In addition, there are several new account numbers for specific taxes and situations. These will automatically appear in the payment details you receive, for example on an assessment notice.

Important: until 30 April 2026, the old account numbers (with ING) will remain valid.

Why is the account number changing?

The Dutch Tax Authority is switching its house bank. Where ING previously handled its payment traffic, Rabobank will take over from 1 May 2026.

How does this work in practice?

The way you pay does not change—only the account number does.

In practical terms:

  • You will receive the new account number in your payment details
  • iDEAL payments and automated processes will continue as usual
  • If you use manual transfers or stored account numbers, you will need to update them yourself

The Dutch Tax Authority recommends checking where you have stored their account number (for example in your address book or accounting system), so you can update it easily from May onwards.

When do you need to take action?

The key date is 1 May 2026.

  • Before 1 May 2026: no action needed—continue using the existing account numbers
  • From 1 May 2026: only pay to the new account number stated in your payment details

If you have a recurring payment or a payment arrangement in place, you will need to update it to the new IBAN.

In practice: when should you pay attention?

You should be particularly alert for the following common transactions:

Payments based on an assessment

  • Income tax
  • Health Insurance Act contributions (ZVW)
  • Corporate income tax
  • Benefits and allowances
  • Motor vehicle tax
  • Gift tax

Payments based on a return

  • Payroll taxes
  • VAT (turnover tax)

Please note

Changes like this often increase the risk of phishing. If you receive a message mentioning a “new account number,” always check that:

  • the number matches the official new account number listed above
  • it is also published on the Dutch Tax Authority’s website

In doubt? A simple rule applies: do not pay and verify first.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What should I do for provisional assessments?
In that case as well, from 1 May 2026 you should pay to the new account number.

What happens if I accidentally transfer to the old ING account number?

However, the Dutch Tax Authority will still receive the payment and will generally process it against your outstanding tax balance.

No, there is no need to wait.
Simply use the account number stated on your assessment or payment details from 1 May onwards.

Does Rabobank replace ING for all taxes?
Yes, for almost all taxes.
Exception: the collection of customs duties is not included.

Can I verify whether the account number is correct?
Yes. The Dutch Tax Authority publishes an overview of its official account numbers.
If in doubt, always check the official website or the payment details on your assessment.

What does this mean for payment arrangements?
For payment plans or instalments, the same applies:
from 1 May 2026, payments must be made to the new account number.
