If the cabinet is located is the well-known blue envelope abolished. All communication with the Tax authorities must, ultimately, going digital will expire. The digitizing of the Tax and customs administration must be a miljoenenbesparing yield.

The communication from the Tax office is not in once digitized, but that will be in steps, writes state secretary Frans f. weekers of Finance in a letter to the Second Chamber. The official orders must be in a personal portal on the website of the Tax authorities.

If the number of letters with 50 million down, that would be 95 million euros in savings, he says. Every year, 160 million blue letters mailed. To the so-called official decisions, such as letters about the belastingtoeslagen, digitise, the law needs to be changed; who writes today that a taxpayer a paper available to receive. The amendment still needs this year to be submitted.

According to mr weekers is the deletion of the paper-based communication is not only a saving of expense, but is digital communication is also better for taxpayers. It seems the plan is mainly intended to contribute to the 395 million savings that the Tax is imposed. However, it is unclear how much should be invested to the blue letter digital to be able to send.

The Irs began last fall with a trial where the tax assessments were digitally sent. Thirty thousand civil servants got their tax through the internet sent.

To have no exception is made for elderly people, and others without a computer and internet connection. They get called ‘targeted support’, promises the government. In the past there was from ouderenverenigingen criticism of the banks, because the statements only for a fee on paper wanted to send.
