Hanneke Nov 2022 2:29pm, 24 Nov 2022 95,709 posts	Quote Pin Hanneke That, after extensive lobbying over many years, the Dutch government is now allowing non doms to apply for a DigiD, which is essential to be able to get a Dutch state pension. As the UK left the EU, this has left me with an incredibly depleted pension, and reverting back to getting one dollop from NL and one dollop from the UK... Total PITA, as the double taxation agreement has not been re-negotiated so this means I have to pay tax on my meagre state pensions in the Netherlands, while they are well below having to pay tax in the UK... I may find declining the rights to a Dutch state pension leaves me with a net higher pension! 42% tax of UK and Dutch combined is going to be higher than the small amount of pension. Sigh!
