The Netherlands, explained

huurtoeslag

Huurtoeslag is a Dutch rent allowance paid by the Belastingdienst to tenants with a low income whose rent is below a maximum set by the government. It is administered through the Toeslagen service and is calculated on income, household situation and rent. Because it depends on the rent level, it does not take energy costs into account.
