How to file a tax return for 2024?
Everyone who worked in 2024 (even if it was only for one or two months) is required to file a tax return. The deadline is May 1st 2025.
Important: We do not help you fill out the tax return at the chapel, but we can help you make an appointment with the tax office in Doetinchem. However, you can do it yourself. Read the following options.

You can file a tax return via:
