Such amounts are not subject to tax, up to a certain limit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Untaxed volunteer work reimbursement<\/strong><br \/>\nAny reimbursements you receive as a volunteer are not subject to tax in the following cases:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You are only reimbursed for the costs you have incurred.<\/li>\n<li>You have agreed that you will receive a fee in return for your efforts and you are aged 23 years or older.\u00a0The fee you receive is no more than \u20ac4.50 per hour, up to a maximum of \u20ac150 per month or \u20ac1500 per year. The maximum amounts apply to the total amount of fees you receive for your work and any reimbursements for the costs you actually incur.<\/li>\n<li>You have agreed that you will receive a fee in return for your efforts and you are younger than 23 years. The fee you receive is no more than \u20ac2.50 per hour, up to a maximum of \u20ac150 per month or \u20ac1500 per year. The maximum amounts apply to the total amount of fees you receive for your work and any reimbursements for the costs you actually incur.<\/li>\n<li>You have not agreed that you will receive a fee in return for your efforts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You receive a fee that is so low that it bears no reflection of the type or duration of the work performed. The fee you receive is no more than \u20ac150 per month or \u20ac1500 per year. The maximum amounts apply to the total amount of fees you receive for your work.<\/p>\n<p>If you only receive these volunteer fees, then they are not subject to tax.<br \/>\nThe organization for which you volunteer does not need to inform the tax authorities of these fees. The organization is also not obliged to keep any records of the number of hours worked, even if you receive any other form of remuneration than an hourly fee.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are you only reimbursed for the costs you actually incur?<\/strong><br \/>\nThen this is not subject to tax (see above). You may be reimbursed for your travel expenses or for the costs of stationery or postage, for example. Travel expenses include travel by public transport as well as the use of your own vehicle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Costs of using public transport<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you travel by public transport, it is easy enough to provide evidence. Simply retain your ticket for the train, bus, tram, or taxi to show how much you paid.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Costs of using your own vehicle<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you use your own vehicle to do volunteer work, then you may claim a mileage allowance from the organization to cover the distance travelled. This is based on an average price per kilometre travelled in your vehicle.<br \/>\nThe tax-free allowance for employees is set at \u20ac0.19, but this does not apply to volunteers. There is also no minimum limit for the number of kilometres volunteers have to travel in order to claim reimbursement.<br \/>\nVolunteers cannot claim for a mileage allowance if travelling by bike or on foot.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Volunteer work reimbursement<\/strong><br \/>\nAs a volunteer, you may receive more than \u20ac4.50 per hour (or \u20ac2.50 if you are under 23), \u20ac150 per month, or \u20ac1500 per year. In such case, the fee you receive is considered to reflect the type and\/or duration of the work performed. This work is therefore subject to wage and income tax.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Receiving welfare while doing volunteer work<\/strong><br \/>\nAre you receiving welfare payments on top of any fees for performing volunteer work?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Volunteers receiving welfare may earn up to \u20ac150 per month or \u20ac1500 per year in fees and reimbursement for expenses without it affecting their benefits payments (as at 01\/04\/2017).<\/li>\n<li>This means the reimbursement for voluntary work is the same for each volunteer, regardless of whether or not they receive certain benefits. It doesn\u2019t matter whether or not the volunteer work is carried out under a scheme aimed at gaining employment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a
