Get a contribution towards your costs
How it works
The Dutch government wants to make sure that you, as a self-employed professional, build up a pension. A pension account, pension insurance, or making voluntary extra contributions to your pension fund can help with that. But finding the money to arrange this isn’t always easy. That’s why the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science (OCW) has set aside funding to help self-employed professionals in the cultural and creative sector build up that pension.
Platform ACCT uses this funding for the Nu voor Later scheme, a temporary financial contribution towards the costs of your pension provision.
So: have you arranged a pension provision for yourself? Then you can apply for a financial contribution through Nu voor Later. Want to know how the application process works? Check the full step-by-step guide in the frequently asked questions.
You can apply if you are a self-employed person in the cultural and creative sector and if you have a pension provision. You will receive the contribution toward the costs afterward.
Please note: If you have started a new pension provision, apply for ‘Nu voor Later’ FIRST. ONLY THEN deposit an amount into your pension provision account. Your application period starts at the moment you apply for ‘Nu voor Later’. And you will only receive compensation for the application period.
