Read here why we do that. Close Font size: EMPLOYEES RETIREES EMPLOYERS Home Retirees My retirement benefit I live abroad I live abroad You live abroad or may be going to live there. In that case you are also entitled to your pension benefit from BPL. There are a number of things to take into account. Proof of life If you live abroad, we will ask you annually for a certificate of 'Proof of life' . We do this because we do not receive a message from foreign municipalities if someone has died. Your pension benefit Make sure that you have the form completed by the embassy, consulate, registry office or a civil-law notary. Have it provided with an official stamp or certificate of authenticity. For the payment of your pension we need the IBAN number (International Bank Account Number) and the BIC code (Swift) from your bank. Look for this on your statement or request it from your bank. Do you live in the EU? Then we will request a 'Certificate of Life' from you once a year. You can request this from an official institution, such as the embassy or a municipal institution. As long as you send in proof of your life annually, the pension payment will be made monthly. Do you live in Curaçao and do you have the Dutch nationality? Then you only need to send in proof of life once a year. Do you live outside the EU? For this you must submit a proof of life yourself. Would you like to receive a pension benefit per month? Then you must also send us a 'Certificate of life' every month. Do you send us proof of life once a year (afterwards)? Then you will also receive a benefit once a year. Payroll tax If you live abroad, you will be regarded by the tax authorities as 'non-resident'. When paying your pension, we take this into account when withholding the payroll tax. If you are subject to tax in the country where you live, your pension may be taxed twice. To prevent this, the tax authorities have concluded treaties with many countries. As a result, the Dutch tax authorities can often obtain full or partial exemption from wage tax. Emigration When emigrating abroad, the Tax and Customs Administration can impose a separate assessment: the protective assessment. This is the case, among other things, if you: has built up a pension in the Netherlands; or is entitled to benefits from an annuity insurance policy and the premiums for this have been deducted from your income. Bij emigratie wordt het fiscaal voordeel dat u hiervan had, 'onder voorbehoud' teruggenomen. De waarde van uw pensioenaanspraken wordt als inkomen in box 1 behandeld. Daarnaast kan revisierente opgelegd worden door de Belastingdienst. U hoeft deze conserverende aanslag niet meteen te betalen: op uw verzoek kunt u een uitstel krijgen van maximaal tien jaar. Als uw pensioen in deze periode op de normale manier wordt afgehandeld, kunt u om kwijtschelding van de belastingschuld vragen. Neem voor meer informatie contact op met de Belastingdienst of kijk op www.belastingdienst.nl. Let op: als u overlijdt, kan de conserverende aanslag ook opgelegd worden aan uw partner die het pensioen ontvangt en emigreert. Changes in your situation You must notify the pension fund yourself of any change of address details or change of marital status.
