Membership fee refund: Don't leave money on the table

And get a portion of your paid union dues back!

Did you know that as a member of a union, you can take advantage of a tax scheme and reclaim part of your union dues through your employer? And that this can amount to up to €108 of the amount you pay annually?!

This is how it works

Your annual statement is ready in your account.

1. Go to your account
2. Log in to your account or register for a new account. Then immediately check your details!
3. Download and print your annual statement.
4. Submit the annual statement to your employer or HR department. Most employers require you to submit the annual statement before mid-November, but sometimes it can be later. So always check with your company.
5. Your employer will process the benefit and ensure you get it back. Usually, the adjustment is made once on your gross monthly salary or year-end bonus.

How does the contribution refund work?

The contribution refund is settled with your gross salary. The annual contribution amount is deducted from your gross salary, and then the usual deductions from the gross salary are subtracted. Finally, the annual contribution amount is added back to the salary net. The settlement of contribution money is a tax scheme that the employer can voluntarily apply, even without a CLA. If you are not covered by the CLA, you can always ask your employer to settle your paid contribution with your salary at the end of the calendar year. There are no adverse consequences for the employer.
