However, a small warning: don't be too bold in your corrections. The tax administration could refuse adjustments which she would consider excessive. So be careful!
Adjustment to tax reductions and credits
December 12 is also an important date for everyone who benefits from income tax credits and reductions. In January, the tax administration will actually pay an advance on these reductions. But it may happen that this amount is higher than necessary.
If you do not wish to face too large a repayment in September 2025, you have the possibility of adjusting this advance. How to do it? Log in to your tax area, under “manage my withholding tax”. You will be able to choose to keep, waive or modify the advance planned for January.
It is therefore crucial to make a decision before December 12. Otherwise, you risk finding yourself in a situation where you have to repay too large an advance. This will allow you to better manage your income tax for the coming year.
Update your withholding rate for 2025 now
If you have updated your withholding tax rate to 2024, you should know that this rate only applies until the end of the year. From now onyou have the possibility of updating it for 2025. If you estimate that your income will change (for better or worse), consider updating your rate to avoid an unpleasant surprise.

So take a few minutes to check your situation and adjust your rate if necessary. This will allow you to better manage the impact of your income tax at the start of next year.
