Plaintiff&#39;s income in 2018 consisted of a payment under the Participation Act amounting to € 15,229.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><p> 3. By letter of 17 December 2018, the Claimant submitted a request for data erasure to the Defendant on the basis of the General Data Protection Regulation ( <span class="hl0">GDPR</span> ). An appeal is now being made to the Amsterdam District Court.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><p> 4. On March 29, 2019, the plaintiff&#39;s IB / PVV declaration for the year 2018 was received by the defendant.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><p> 5. By letter of 29 October 2019, the respondent requested additional information from the plaintiff in response to her IB / PVV declaration for the year 2018. The plaintiff provided this information in a letter of 6 November 2019.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><p> 6. On November 6, 2019, the plaintiff also issued a notice of default to the defendant because he had not decided on a complaint filed by the plaintiff on September 30, 2019 at the office of the Tax Authorities, Amsterdam office.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><p> 7. In a letter of 8 November 2019, the defendant informed the plaintiff that its notice of default does not relate to an application within the meaning of Article 1: 3 of the General Administrative Law Act (Awb), so that he does not have time to assess the right to a penalty. According to the letter, this notification is not open to objection or appeal.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><p> 8. By letter of 11 November 2019, the respondent informed the plaintiff of its intention to deviate from its IB / PVV declaration for the year 2018.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><p> 9. In a letter of 20 November 2019, the Plaintiff responded to the intention of the Defendant and requested that he impose a provisional assessment in accordance with her declaration.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><p> 10. In a letter of November 29, 2019, the Plaintiff responded to the letter of the Defendant of November 8, 2019. The subject of this letter is stated: “Your letter of 8 November 2019 regarding IGS. Objection ”.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><p> 11. On December 5, 2019, the respondent announced that it would impose the IB / PVV assessment for the year 2018 in accordance with its letter of 11 November 2019.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><p> 12. By letter of 9 December 2019, the plaintiff filed an appeal with the Amsterdam District Court against the defendant&#39;s refusal to take a (correct) decision. The Amsterdam District Court registered this appeal under case number AMS 19/6551 and requested the Plaintiff by letter dated 10 December 2019 to send a copy of the notice of default. In a letter of 18 December 2019, Plaintiff sent, among other things, the notice of default of 6 November 2019 and the letter from the defendant of 8 November 2019 to the Amsterdam District Court.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><p> 13. In a letter of December 8, 2019, which was received by the defendant on December 12, 2019, the plaintiff objected to the letter of December 5, 2019. The defendant interpreted this letter as an objection to the IB / PVV assessment yet to be imposed for the year 2018 and the handling of the objection has been suspended.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><p> 14. In a letter of 20 January 2020, the plaintiff declared the defendant in default, because he had not yet established the IB / PVV assessment for the year 2018 and had not given a ruling on the objection of 8 December 2019.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><p> 15. On 22 January 2020, the Amsterdam District Court forwarded the notice of appeal that it had registered under case number AMS 19/6551 to the court, because it considered that it had no jurisdiction. The court registered this file under case number HAA 20/2618.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><p> 16. In a letter of 23 January 2020, the respondent informed the plaintiff that its notice of default of 20 January 2020 does not refer to an application within the meaning of Article 1: 3 of the Awb, because the declaration is not an application. As a result, he will not be able to assess the right to a penalty. According to the letter, this notification is not open to objection or appeal.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><p> 17. In a letter of February 2, 2020, the plaintiff filed a “direct appeal” with the court “concerning IB 2018”, complaining, among other things, that the defendant had not imposed an IB / PVV assessment for the year 2018. Plaintiff also refers to the notice of default of 20 January 2020. The court added this letter to the file of the case with number HAA 20/2618.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><p> 18. With date of 5 March 2020, the respondent imposed the assessment IB / PVV for the year 2018 on the plaintiff. This assessment includes a refund of € 79 (including tax interest to be reimbursed).<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><p> 19. By letter of 5 March 2020, the Plaintiff filed an appeal against this assessment with the court. The court also added this letter to the file of the case with number HAA 20/2618.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><p> 20. On March 12, 2020, the defendant asked the plaintiff to motivate its objection of December 12, 2019. Plaintiff responded to this in a letter dated 15 March 2020 and requested the defendant to agree to a direct appeal.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><p> 21. On March 27, 2020, the respondent gave judgment on the objection of December 12, 2019.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><p> 22. By letter of April 6, 2020, received at the court on April 7, 2020, Plaintiff supplemented her appeal in the case with number HAA 20/2618, in which she addressed, among other things, the decision on the objection.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><div class="parablock"><p> <span class="emphasis" style="border-bottom:1px solid black;">Admissibility of the appeal</span></p></div><p> 23. Before the court proceeds to assess the points in dispute between the parties, it will of its own motion assess the admissibility of the appeal.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><p> 24. From the letters from the plaintiff that the court has received, the court concludes that the plaintiff is appealing against the following decisions of the defendant:<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><ol class="lowerroman" name="ID0EBAAC"><li><p> The lack of a decision on the complaint that the plaintiff submitted to the defendant on (notice of default of the plaintiff of 6 November 2019);</p></li><li><p> Failure to impose the IB / PVV assessment for the year 2018 (notice of default from Plaintiff of 20 January 2020);</p></li><li><p> The lack of a decision on the objection of 8 December 2019 (notice of default from the plaintiff of 20 January 2020);</p></li><li><p> The IB / PVV assessment imposed by the defendant on the plaintiff for the year 2018, dated 5 March 2020;</p></li><li><p> The decision on the defendant&#39;s objection of 27 March 2020.</p></li></ol><p> 25. The court finds in this respect as follows.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><ol class="lowerroman" name="ID0EEBAC"><li><p> Under Article 9: 3 of the Awb, no appeal can be lodged against a decision regarding the handling of a complaint about the conduct of an administrative body. Since failure to take a decision on time pursuant to Article 6: 2, first paragraph, opening words and letter b, of the Awb is equated with a decision, no appeal can be lodged against it either. Insofar as the appeal is directed against the lack of a decision on the plaintiff&#39;s complaint, the appeal is therefore inadmissible. For reasons of procedural economics, the court will itself pronounce the inadmissibility.</p></li><li><p> An assessment, although not a decision on application, is considered a decision within the meaning of Article 6: 2, first paragraph, opening words and letter b, of the Awb, so that the absence of that assessment is equated with a decision against which under Article 8: 1 of the Awb read in conjunction with article 26 of the General Law on State Taxes (AWR), appeal is open to the administrative court (see the judgment of the Supreme Court of 24 June 2011, ECLI: NL: HR: 2011: BP8929). Pursuant to Article 7: 1, first paragraph, opening words and letter f, of the Awb, the objection procedure does not have to be completed in such a case. The court reads in the plaintiff&#39;s letter of 2 February 2020 an appeal against the failure to issue the IB / PVV assessment for the year 2018. However, it follows from the aforementioned judgment of the Supreme Court that such an appeal is inadmissible if the notice of appeal is filed before the governing body is in default. In a case such as the present, this is not the case if the assessment was made before the expiry of the statutory period prescribed in Article 11 (3) of the AWR. As will be considered below, the assessment of the IB / PVV for the year 2018 with regard to the plaintiff was indeed determined within that period. This means that the appeal is also inadmissible to that extent.</p></li><li><p> The same applies to the appeal against the lack of a decision on the objection regarding the IB / PVV assessment for the year 2018 and the associated interest rate decision. As will be considered below, the defendant did not exceed the time limit for giving a ruling on the objection, so that he was not in default. The appeal is therefore also inadmissible to that extent.</p></li><li><p> It follows from the foregoing that, in principle, an appeal is possible with regard to the assessment of the IB / PVV imposed on the plaintiff for the year 2018 with date 5 March 2020 and the decision regarding tax interest. The person who has been granted the right to lodge an appeal with an administrative court must, however, submit an objection before lodging an appeal (Article 7: 1, paragraph 1, of the Awb). Insofar as the plaintiff wished to appeal directly against the assessment and the decision regarding tax interest, her appeal is therefore inadmissible.</p></li><li><p> The appeal is admissible in so far as Plaintiff has lodged it against the decision on the objection of 27 March 2020, which relates to the said assessment and decision. The court reads such an appeal in the plaintiff&#39;s letter of 6 April 2020, which is also directed against the decision on the objection.</p></li></ol><p> 26. The foregoing boils down to the fact that the appeal is only admissible insofar as it is directed against the decision on the objection regarding that IB / PVV assessment for the year 2018 and the decision regarding tax interest issued therewith.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p></div><div class="section"><h2> Dispute<br/> 27 In dispute is the answer to the following questions:</h2><span class="linebreak1"></span><ul name="ID0ERCAC" class="mark"><li> <span class="mark">-</span><p> Was the assessment imposed on time?</p></li><li> <span class="mark">-</span><p> Has the defendant made a timely decision on the plaintiff&#39;s objection?</p></li></ul><ul name="ID0E6CAC" class="mark"><li> <span class="mark">-</span><p> Is there a right to deduct costs related to legal proceedings?</p></li><li> <span class="mark">-</span><p> Is there a right to deduction of specific healthcare costs?</p></li><li> <span class="mark">-</span><p> If the costs related to the legal proceedings and healthcare costs are not deducted from box 1 income, can they be taken into account as debts in box 3?</p></li></ul><ul name="ID0ESDAC" class="mark"><li> <span class="mark">-</span><p> Has the defendant violated the privacy of the plaintiff?</p></li><li> <span class="mark">-</span><p> Has the defendant compiled the file correctly?</p></li><li> <span class="mark">-</span><p> Has the defendant violated the general principles of good administration?</p></li></ul><div class="parablock"><p> <span class="emphasis" style="border-bottom:1px solid black;">Assessment of the dispute</span></p><p> <span class="emphasis" style="font-style:italic;">Is an assessment imposed on time?</span></p></div><p> 28. Plaintiff takes the position that the assessment was established too late.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><p> 29. Respondent takes the position that the assessment was imposed within the assessment period.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><p> 30. Article 11, third paragraph, of the AWR provides that the authority to determine the assessment expires three years after the time on which the tax debt arose. Pursuant to Article 11, paragraph 4, of the AWR, an income tax liability arises at the time when the period over which the tax is levied ends.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><p> 31. The period over which tax is levied is in this case the tax year 2018. This period ended on December 31, 2018. This means that the defendant had the authority to impose an assessment up to and including December 31, 2021. The assessment was dated March 5, 2020 and in these proceedings it has neither been stated nor shown that the assessment was not made known to the Plaintiff until after that date. The court is therefore of the opinion that the assessment was imposed on time.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><div class="parablock"><p> <span class="emphasis" style="font-style:italic;">Have a timely decision on the objection?</span></p></div><p> 32. Plaintiff argues that no decision has been taken on the objection. That is why the appeal of 2 February 2020 is about not issuing a decision.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><p> 33. Respondent takes the view that the objection could only be handled after the assessment had been issued. This was done on 5 March 2020. The decision on the objection was made on 27 March 2020 and is therefore timely.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><p> 34. The court states first of all that in her letter of 2 February 2020 the plaintiff is appealing against the lack of a decision on her objection against the letter of the defendant of 5 December 2019. As considered above, her appeal is inadmissible to that extent.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><p> 35. Insofar as Plaintiff wishes to argue that the contested decision on the objection of 27 March 2020 was not made on time, the court finds as follows. Pursuant to Article 7:10, paragraph 1, of the Awb, an administrative authority must make a decision in a case such as the present within six weeks, calculated from the day after the day on which the period for submitting the notice of objection has expired. In this case, this period commences on the basis of Article 22j of the AWR with the date of the assessment (5 March 2020), and therefore not with the receipt of the notice of objection on 12 December 2019. In view of the above, the period expired on April 16, 2020, so that the decision on the objection is made within the period.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><div class="parablock"><p> <span class="emphasis" style="font-style:italic;">Costs for legal proceedings</span></p></div><p> 36. In her IB / PVV declaration for the year 2018, the Plaintiff deducted an amount of € 1,323 in legal costs. These costs are classified in the tax returns under the deductible costs of periodic payments. Plaintiff is of the opinion that these costs reduce its ability to pay and should therefore be deducted.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><p> 37. The defendant has not allowed this amount to be deducted. He disputes that the costs were incurred to acquire, collect and maintain the distribution under the Participation Act.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><p> 38. Plaintiff rightly points out that the legislator intends the income tax as a means of taxation (see, for example, Parliamentary Papers II 1998/99, 26 727, no. 3, pp. 4-7). However, it is not the case that this intention of the legislator already means that the plaintiff can claim a deduction for costs that reduce its ability to pay. Various regulations in the Income Tax Act 2001 (Income Tax Act 2001) (including the personal deductions to which the plaintiff is entitled) take into account certain limitations of the ability to pay. It is up to the legislator to determine which restrictions are taken into account and which are not. The decision of the legislator not to make legal provision for the kind of costs that the plaintiff is confronted with cannot, in principle, be successfully challenged in court, because the court may under no circumstances assess the internal value or fairness of the law. (Article 11 of the General Provisions Act). In the given constitutional relations, the judge is also not free to test the law against the general principles of law, the ability to pay principle should already be included in this (cf. the judgment of the Supreme Court of 14 April 1989, ECLI: NL: HR: 1989: AD5725).<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><p> 39. Plaintiff has classified the legal costs that it has incurred in its tax return in the field for deductible costs with regard to periodic benefits. This field relates to the costs that affect benefits and benefits in kind insofar as they are incurred for the acquisition, collection and maintenance of those benefits and benefits (Article 3.108 of the Income Tax Act 2001). In order to be able to deduct such costs, the plaintiff must demonstrate that it incurred the costs of acquiring, collecting and maintaining its benefits. In the opinion of the court, it has failed to do so in relation to the substantiated dispute by the defendant. The court can in fact determine from the documents in the case what kind of costs are involved (registry costs, travel costs, registered letters, postage stamps, etc.), but not to what extent these costs were incurred for procedures for the acquisition, collection and retention of the distribution under the Participation Act. The court understands from the plaintiff&#39;s documents that it does not only concern procedures with regard to benefits, but also, for example, procedures in the field of taxes, healthcare benefits and youth care. However, the court cannot deduce from the documents which part of the costs relate to the proceedings relating to a distribution.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><p> 40. The court therefore finds that the costs incurred by the plaintiff in 2018 for the various legal proceedings are not deducted.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><div class="parablock"><p> <span class="emphasis" style="font-style:italic;">Specific healthcosts</span></p></div><p> 41. In the plaintiff&#39;s IB / PVV declaration for the year 2018, an amount of € 1,669 for specific healthcare costs was deducted. These costs were made on prescription from a doctor, she says. According to the plaintiff, in view of her income and her ability to pay, it would be unbalanced to exclude the costs of deduction. After all, if she did not pay those costs, she would end up on the street, she argues.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><p> 42. Respondent takes the position that he has correctly determined the deduction for specific healthcare costs. According to the respondent, a collection premium (€ 583.37) and expenses for a procedure at the Stichting Klachten en Geschillen Zorgverzekeringen (€ 56.20) are not healthcare costs. For the other costs, the defendant has eliminated payment costs and deductible. Then only the uninsured dental costs in the amount of € 454.56 remain. The respondent applies a threshold of € 251 to this. In that case, a deductible amount of € 204 remains.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><p> 43. As considered above, factors that reduce the ability to pay can only be taken into account in determining the assessment if there is a legal basis for this. In the case of healthcare costs, this basis can be found in Article 6.1, second paragraph, opening words and letter d, read in conjunction with Article 6.17 of the Income Tax Act 2001. In the case of the Plaintiff, these costs are determined on the basis of Article 6.20, first paragraph. , opening lines and letter b, of the Income Tax Act 2001 only to the extent that, after application of the increase under Article 6.19 of the Income Tax Act 2001, they jointly amount to more than 1.65% of the aggregate income before application of the personal allowance . For Plaintiff in 2018, this threshold amounts to € 15,229 * 1.65% = € 251.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><p> 44. The court is of the opinion that the costs that - according to the parties not in dispute - fall under the deductible and the collection costs charged by the health insurer do not constitute specific healthcare costs within the meaning of Article 6.17 of the Income Tax Act 2001. Premiums for a health insurance policy and payments to the health insurer on the basis of the deductible are not specific healthcare costs under Article 6.18, first paragraph, of the 2001 Income Tax Act. In the opinion of the court, the same applies to collection costs in respect of such payment obligations to the health insurer, insofar as collection costs can at all be regarded as expenditure incurred due to illness or disability (as required in Article 6.17, first paragraph, of the Law IB 2001).<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><p> 45. In the opinion of the court, costs for proceedings before a disputes committee fall outside the enumeration of Article 6.17, first paragraph, of the Income Tax Act 2001 and are therefore not eligible for deduction as specific healthcare costs.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><p> 46. In view of what has been considered above, the court is of the opinion that the defendant has rightly set the deductible specific healthcare costs for the year 2018 at € 204.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><div class="parablock"><p> <span class="emphasis" style="font-style:italic;">Box 3</span></p></div><p> 47. Plaintiff entered debts in box 3 in her tax return. Plaintiff wrongly did not take this into account. She further argues that if the costs for legal proceedings and healthcare costs are not deducted in box 1, they should be taken into account as debts in box 3.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><p> 48. Respondent takes the position that the box 3 assets cannot be negative. Since the plaintiff has no assets in box 3, it does not matter, according to the defendant, whether debts in box 3 must be taken into account.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><p> 49. It is in itself correct that amounts payable by the claimant on 1 January 2018 and which are not taken into account in box 1 or box 2 are deducted in box 3. Article 5.3, first paragraph, of the Income Tax Act 2001 provides To this end, the return base for box 3 consists of the value of the assets less the value of the debts. Article 5.2, first paragraph, of the Income Tax Act 2001 prescribes that the joint basis for savings and investments is equal to the joint basis of return at the start of the calendar year (reference date) of the taxpayer and his partner, insofar as the joint basis of return is more than the tax-free capital of the taxpayer and his partner.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><p> 50. However, it also appears from these provisions that tax is only levied in box 3 if the balance of assets and liabilities is higher than the tax-free allowance. Since it is not disputed between the parties that the Plaintiff did not have any assets on 1 January 2018 that were worth more than the tax-free allowance (€ 30,000) and that the Plaintiff was not charged a box 3 levy in the present years, the deduction of debts can be box 3 does not lead to an amendment to the contested decisions for the plaintiff. The court therefore does not come to a judgment on those debts.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><div class="parablock"><p> <span class="emphasis" style="font-style:italic;">Privacy</span></p></div><p> 51. Plaintiff complains that her privacy has been violated. She received the request to report the crime from Breda and the provisional assessment from Doetinchem. She had to correspond with the defendant on five to nine different veins, she says. This makes plaintiff feel uncomfortable because she gets the impression that her data is everywhere. For this reason, she has also started a <span class="hl0">GDPR</span> lawsuit against the defendant. Plaintiff concludes that the violation of her privacy must lead to the destruction of the attacks.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><p> 52. In this context, the respondent refers to the ongoing <span class="hl0">GDPR</span> proceedings at the Amsterdam District Court and disputes that any violation of privacy could lead to the destruction of the attacks, because there is no legal basis for this.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><p> 53. The court interprets the plaintiff&#39;s argument as an appeal to the right to respect for privacy, as laid down in Article 10 of the Constitution (Gw) and Article 8 of the European Convention for the Protection of the Rights of the People. Man and the fundamental freedoms (ECHR). The court understands the plaintiff&#39;s argument as meaning that it does not object so much to the levying of income tax as such as to the way in which the taxation and objection processes at the Tax Authorities are structured, and in particular, the fact that different phases of these processes are housed at different organizational units that are located at different locations.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><p> 54. In the court&#39;s opinion, the levying of the current Dutch income tax in itself constitutes an interference in the privacy of the public authorities. After all, the respondent collects and stores large amounts of information of a private nature in that context. Moreover, the interference is reinforced because the defendant has placed different phases of the tax and objection processes with different organizational units of the Tax and Customs Administration. This means that a relatively large number of different officials have to inspect the aforementioned information of a private nature. In this case, as far as the court has been able to determine, the plaintiff has received mail from the Tax Authorities / Private Individuals, the Amsterdam office, the Tax Authorities / Private individuals, Team IGS, Arnhem office and the Tax Authorities, Heerlen office (apparently the Central Administrative Processes organizational unit). In view of the arguments of the plaintiff, the court will only discuss this last aspect of the interference.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><p> 55. Not all interference with privacy constitutes a violation of Article 10 of the Gw and Article 8 of the ECHR. This is not the case if the interference is provided for by law and is necessary in a democratic society in the interests of national security, public security or the economic well-being of the country, the prevention of disorder and criminal offenses, the protection of health or morals or for the protection of the rights and freedoms of others (Article 8, second paragraph, of the ECHR).<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><p> 56. In the opinion of the court, the manner in which the Tax and Customs Administration has organized its processes is provided in a formal sense by law. Article 3, second paragraph, of the AWR stipulates that rules are to be laid down by ministerial regulation regarding the main aspects of the organization of the national tax authorities as well as regarding the inspector to whom a taxpayer falls. The subdivision of the Tax and Customs Administration into the various organizational units with which Plaintiff has corresponded is regulated in Article 3 of the Implementation Regulation for the Tax and Customs Administration 2003. The inspector under which Plaintiff falls is regulated in Article 11, first paragraph, of the Implementation Regulation for the Tax and Customs Administration 2003. This regulation does not follow that the Tax and Customs Administration division has a centralized formal notice team in Arnhem. Since the establishment of the Tax Authorities / Individuals organizational unit itself is provided for by law, the court sees no violation of the requirement of a legal basis.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><p> 57. According to the regulator, the manner of organization described above was prompted by the wish to further flexibilisation of the activities of the Tax and Customs Administration (see the decision of the State Secretary of Finance of 19 December 2002, no. WDB2002 / 835 M, Government Gazette 2002 , 247 / p. 19, p. 5). The court understands the regulator as meaning that with the new, partially centralized organizational form of the Tax and Customs Administration he intended to design the work processes of the Tax Authorities as efficiently as possible. In the court&#39;s opinion, this makes the measure necessary in a democratic society in the interest of the economic well-being of the country. The court therefore comes to the conclusion that the claimant&#39;s right to respect for her privacy has not been violated. The court will then not be able to answer the question of how legal restoration within the meaning of Article 13 of the ECHR should take place.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><div class="parablock"><p> <span class="emphasis" style="font-style:italic;">Composition of the file</span></p></div><p> 58. Plaintiff has complained about the composition of the file in this case. She has the feeling that this is always going wrong. For example, she does not see her own notice of appeal between the documents in the defense. In addition, the defendant in this case also referred to the procedure with number 19/6551 and also added documents from that procedure to the file. This appears to Plaintiff as deliberate deception, because that is a completely different procedure. All in all, according to Plaintiff, there is a selective composition of the file.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><p> 59. According to the defendant, the Amsterdam District Court created the number AMS 19/6551 and the case was subsequently forwarded to the court and registered there under the number HAA 20/2618. It is therefore the same procedure.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><p> 60. The court states first of all that the defendant must send the documents relating to the case to the court on the basis of Article 8:42, first paragraph, of the Awb. He did this in the defense. The court has no reason to believe that the defendant has not sent all the documents relating to the case. In the opinion of the court, this obligation does not extend so far as to require a defending administrative body to send a notice of appeal submitted in the relevant procedure to the administrative judge. Such a course of events would not be efficient, given the circumstance that a defending administrative body correctly receives the notice of appeal from the administrative judge (cf. Article 6:14, second paragraph and Article 8:42, first paragraph, of the Awb).<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><p> 61. The summary of facts included at the beginning of this judgment shows that the Amsterdam District Court forwarded the file with number AMS 19/6551 to the District Court because it considered itself incompetent. The court registered this file under case number HAA 20/2618. As the defendant rightly argues, it therefore concerns the same procedure, so that there is no unauthorized combination of files.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><div class="parablock"><p> <span class="emphasis" style="font-style:italic;">General principles</span></p></div><p> 62. Plaintiff has serious suspicions of fraud. Plaintiff has therefore reported several times to the Public Prosecution Service. Plaintiff argues that the principle of confidentiality and other principles of good administration have been violated. She complains that the defendant&#39;s decisions, and in particular his deviation from the declaration, are insufficiently motivated.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><p> 63. The court emphasizes that the trial of criminal offenses is not entrusted to the administrative judge. In these proceedings, however, the court can rule on the question whether the defendant has infringed the general principles of good administration, including the principle of legitimate expectations and the principle of reasons. However, it has not become clear to the court what the violations alleged by the plaintiff exist, nor has it become plausible that she was disadvantaged as a result. The court therefore sees no reason in these assertions for annulment or reduction of the contested decisions.<span class="linebreak1"></span></p><div class="parablock"><p> <span class="emphasis" style="font-style:italic;">Finally</span></p></div><p> 64.

Administrative law
Case number: HAA 20/2618
judgment of the single chamber of 27 October 2020 in the case between
drs. [X] , residing at [Z] , plaintiff,
and
the inspector of the Belastingdienst/Particulieren, Amsterdam office, defendant.
Process Process
The plaintiff lodged a complaint with the defendant. Since the defendant did not take a decision on the matter, the claimant served him with a notice of default and subsequently brought an action for failure to take a decision in time.
The plaintiff also gave notice of default to the defendant for failing to impose an income tax and national insurance contributions (IB/PVV) assessment for the year 2018 in time. She also brought an action in that regard.
The defendant subsequently imposed on the claimant an IB/PVV assessment for the year 2018, calculated on the basis of a taxable income from work and home of € 15,025. In doing so, he issued an order in respect of tax interest, in which an amount of € 3 was paid in tax interest. The claimant lodged both an objection and an appeal against this assessment and the interest decision.
By ruling on the objection, the defendant has maintained the assessment and the decision on tax interest. The plaintiff has also lodged an appeal.
The defendant submitted a statement of defence.
The claimant submitted further documents before the hearing. Copies of these documents were provided to the defendant.
The investigation at the hearing took place on 5 August 2020 in Haarlem.
The claimant appeared. The defendant was represented by [A] and mr. [B] .

According to the letter, this notification is not subject to objection or appeal.

                        htmlBottom = htmlBottom.replace(/href=\"\//gi, "href=\"" + window.rootWebAddress + "/");

                };
12. By letter of 9 December 2019, the plaintiff lodged an appeal with the District Court of Amsterdam against the defendant's refusal to make a (correct) decision. The Court of Amsterdam registered this appeal under case number AMS 19/6551 and requested plaintiff by letter of 10 December 2019 to send a copy of the notice of default. By letter of 18 December 2019, the plaintiff sent the notice of default of 6 November 2019 and the letter of the defendant of 8 November 2019 to the Court of Amsterdam.

13. By letter of 8 December 2019, received by the defendant on 12 December 2019, the plaintiff objected to the letter of 5 December 2019. The defendant interpreted this letter as an objection to the IB/PVV assessment still to be imposed for the year 2018, and maintained the processing of the objection.
            })();
 
        </script></body></html>
14. By letter of 20 January 2020, the plaintiff served notice of default on the defendant on the ground that it had not yet issued the IB/PVV assessment for the year 2018 and had failed to rule on the objection of 8 December 2019.
 
15. On 22 January 2020, the District Court of Amsterdam forwarded the appeal which it had registered under case number AMS 19/6551 to the District Court because it considered that it lacked jurisdiction. The court registered this case under case number HAA 20/2618.
 
16. By letter of 23 January 2020, the defendant informed the claimant that its notice of default of 20 January 2020 does not relate to an application within the meaning of Article 1:3 of the General Administrative Law Act (Awb), because filing a declaration is not an application. As a result, he is not entitled to assess the right to a penalty payment. According to the letter, this notification is not subject to objection or appeal.
 
17. By letter of 2 February 2020, the claimant brought a 'direct action' before the court 'concerning IB 2018', complaining, inter alia, that the defendant had not issued an IB/PVV assessment for the year 2018. The claimant also referred to the letter of formal notice of 20 January 2020. The Court included this letter in the case file number HAA 20/2618.
 
18. On 5 March 2020, the defendant imposed on the claimant the assessment IB/PVV for the year 2018. This assessment includes a refund of € 79 (including tax interest to be reimbursed).
 
19. By letter of 5 March 2020, the claimant lodged an appeal against this attack with the court. The Court also included this letter in the case file number HAA 20/2618.
 
20. On 12 March 2020, the defendant asked the plaintiff to state the reasons for her objection of 12 December 2019. By letter of 15 March 2020, the claimant responded and asked the defendant to agree to a direct appeal.
 
21. On 27 March 2020, the defendant gave its decision on the objection of 12 December 2019.
 
22. By letter of 6 April 2020, received at the Court on 7 April 2020, the plaintiff supplemented her appeal in the case with number HAA 20/2618, commenting, inter alia, on the judgment on the objection.
 
Admissibility of the action
23. Before assessing the points of contention between the parties, the court will assess the admissibility of the appeal ex officio.
 
24. From the plaintiff's letters received by the court, the court concludes that the plaintiff appeals against the defendant's subsequent decisions:
 
The absence of a decision on the claimant's complaint lodged with the defendant on (Default notice from plaintiff dated 6 November 2019);
The non-imposition of IB/PVV assessment for the year 2018 (plaintiff's formal notice of 20 January 2020);
Failure to rule on the objection of 8 December 2019 (plaintiff's formal notice of 20 January 2020);
The IB/PVV assessment imposed on the claimant by the defendant for the year 2018, dated 5 March 2020;
Judgment on defendant's objection of 27 March 2020.
25. The Court considers as follows in this respect.
 
No appeal may be lodged against a decision on the handling of a complaint about the conduct of an administrative body on the basis of Article 9:3 of the General Administrative Law Act (Awb). Since failure to take a decision in time pursuant to Section 6:2(1)(b) of the General Administrative Law Act is equated with a decision, no appeal may be lodged against it either. Insofar as the appeal is directed against the failure to reach a decision on the claimant's complaint, the appeal is therefore inadmissible. For reasons of procedural economy, the court will pronounce the declaration of inadmissibility itself.
An assessment, although not a decision on application, is considered a decision within the meaning of Section 6:2, first paragraph, opening words and letter b, of the Awb, so that the absence of such an assessment is assimilated to a decision against which, pursuant to Section 8:1 of the Awb read in conjunction with Section 26 of the Algemene Wet inzake rijksbelastingen (AWR), an appeal may be lodged with the administrative court (see the judgment of the Supreme Court of 24 June 2011, ECLI:NL:HR:2011:BP8929). Pursuant to Section 7:1(1)(f) of the General Administrative Law Act (Awb), it is not necessary to first go through the objection procedure in such a case. In the plaintiff's letter of 2 February 2020, the court reads an appeal against the lack of assessment IB/PVV for the year 2018. However, it follows from the aforementioned judgment of the Supreme Court that such an appeal is inadmissible if the appeal is filed before the administrative body is in default. In a case such as the present, this is not the case if the assessment has been issued before the expiry of the statutory period prescribed in article 11, paragraph 3 of the AWR. As will be considered below, the assessment IB/PVV for the year 2018 has in fact been issued within that period in respect of the claimant. This means that the appeal is also inadmissible to that extent.
The same applies to the appeal against the absence of a decision on an objection relating to the IB/PVV assessment for the year 2018 and the accompanying interest decision. As will be considered below, the defendant did not exceed the time-limit for lodging an appeal and was therefore not at fault. The action is therefore also inadmissible to that extent.
It follows from the foregoing that, in principle, an appeal is possible in respect of the IB/PVV assessment imposed on the claimant for the year 2018, dated 5 March 2020, and the accompanying decision concerning tax interest. However, the person granted the right to lodge an appeal with an administrative court must lodge an objection before lodging an appeal (Article 7:1(1) of the General Administrative Law Act). To the extent that the claimant wished to lodge a direct appeal against the assessment and the decision on tax interest, her appeal is therefore inadmissible.
However, the appeal is admissible to the extent that the claimant has lodged an appeal against the decision on the objection of 27 March 2020, which relates to the aforementioned assessment and order. The Court reads such an appeal in the plaintiff's letter of 6 April 2020, which is also directed against the judgment on objection.
26. The foregoing means that the appeal is only admissible to the extent that it is directed against the judgment on objection relating to that IB/PVV assessment for the year 2018 and the decision on tax interest thereon.
 
Dispute
27. In dispute is the answer to the following questions:
-
Was the attack imposed in good time?
-
Did the defendant decide on the claimant's objection in due time?
-
Is there a right to deduct costs related to legal proceedings?
-
Is there a right to deduct specific healthcare costs?
-
If the costs relating to legal proceedings and healthcare costs are not deducted from Box 1 income, can they be taken into account as debts in Box 3?
-
Has the defendant violated the plaintiff's privacy?
-
Has the defendant compiled the file correctly?
-
Has the defendant infringed the general principles of good administration?
Assessment of the dispute
Attack imposed in good time?
28. The plaintiff takes the view that the attack was established too late.
 
29. The defendant takes the view that the attack was imposed within the period of time allowed for its imposition.
 
30. Article 11(3) of the AWR stipulates that the power to determine the tax assessment lapses three years after the time at which the tax debt has arisen. Pursuant to Section 11, paragraph 4, of the AWR, an income tax liability arises at the time when the period for which the tax is levied ends.
 
31. The period of taxation in this case is the tax year 2018. This period shall end on 31 December 2018. This means that the defendant had the power to issue an assessment until 31 December 2021. The assessment was dated 5 March 2020 and in these proceedings it was neither stated nor revealed that the assessment was not notified to the claimant until after that date. The District Court is therefore of the opinion that the assessment was issued on time.
 
A timely decision on an objection?
32. The plaintiff argues that there was no decision on the objection. Therefore, the appeal of 2 February 2020 concerns the failure to issue a decision.
 
33. The defendant takes the view that the objection could only be dealt with after the attack had been imposed. That was done on 5 March 2020. The judgment on the objection was rendered on 27 March 2020 and is therefore timely.
 
34. The court first of all holds that in her letter of 2 February 2020, the plaintiff appeals against the failure to rule on her objection to the defendant's letter of 5 December 2019. As considered above, her appeal is inadmissible to that extent.
 
35. To the extent that the plaintiff wishes to argue that the contested judgment on the objection of 27 March 2020 was not rendered in time, the court will consider as follows. Pursuant to Section 7:10(1) of the General Administrative Law Act (Awb), an administrative body must decide in a case such as the present within six weeks, counting from the day after the day on which the period for lodging the notice of objection has expired. Pursuant to Section 22j of the AWR, this period commences with the date of the assessment (5 March 2020) and not with the receipt of the notice of objection on 12 December 2019. In view of the above, the period expired on 16 April 2020, so that the decision on the objection was made within the deadline.
 
Costs of legal proceedings
36. In her IB/PVV return for the year 2018, the claimant deducted an amount of € 1,323 in legal costs. These costs have been classified in the declarations under the deductible costs of periodic benefits. The claimant is of the opinion that these costs reduce her ability to pay and should therefore be deducted.
 
37. The defendant did not allow this amount to be deducted. He disputes that the costs were incurred to acquire, collect and maintain the distribution pursuant to the Participation Act.
 
38. The plaintiff is right to point out that income tax is intended by the legislator as a means of taxation (see, for example, Parliamentary Papers II 1998/99, 26 727, no. 3, pp. 4-7). However, it is not the case that this intention of the legislator already means that the claimant is entitled to deduct costs which reduce her ability to pay. Various regulations in the Wet inkomstenbelasting 2001 (Income Tax Act 2001) (including the personal deductions to which the claimant is entitled) take account of certain limitations on capacity. It is up to the legislator to determine which limitations are taken into account and which are not. The legislator's decision not to make a statutory provision for the type of costs plaintiff faces cannot in principle be called into question in court, because the court may under no circumstances assess the inner value or fairness of the law (Article 11 of the General Provisions Act). Nor is the judge free, in the given constitutional relations, to assess the law against the general principles of law, should the principle of force majeure already be taken into account (cf. the judgment of the Supreme Court of 14 April 1989, ECLI:NL:HR:1989:AD5725).
 
39. The claimant has entered the legal costs incurred in her tax return in the field of deductible expenses in respect of periodic benefits. This field relates to the costs that are charged on benefits and benefits in kind in so far as they have been incurred for the acquisition, collection and maintenance of those benefits and benefits in kind (Article 3.108 of the Wet IB 2001). In order to be able to deduct such costs, the claimant must demonstrate that she has incurred the costs of acquiring, collecting and maintaining her benefits. In the opinion of the court, she has failed to do so in the face of the substantiated dispute by the defendant. The court can in fact deduce from the documents of the proceedings what kind of costs are involved (court registry costs, travel expenses, registered letters, postage stamps, etc.), but not to what extent these costs were incurred for proceedings to acquire, collect and maintain the benefit under the Participation Act. The court understands from the plaintiff's documents that these are not only proceedings relating to a benefit, but also, for example, proceedings in the field of taxes, care allowance and youth care. However, the court cannot deduce from the documents what part of the costs relate to the proceedings in relation to a benefit.
 
40. The court therefore concludes that the costs incurred by the plaintiff in the year 2018 for the various legal proceedings are not deductible.
 
Specific healthcare costs
41. In the claimant's IB/PVV declaration for the year 2018 an amount of € 1,669 in specific healthcare costs has been deducted. According to the claimant, these costs were incurred on the prescription of a physician. According to the claimant, in view of her income and ability to pay, it would not be balanced to exclude the costs of deduction. She argues that if she did not pay those costs, she would be left out in the open.
 
42. The defendant takes the view that it has correctly established the deduction in respect of specific healthcare costs. According to the defendant, a collection premium (€ 583.37) and expenses for proceedings at Stichting Klachten en Geschillen Zorgverzekeringen (€ 56.20) do not constitute healthcare costs. For the other costs the defendant has eliminated payment costs and excess. Only the uninsured dental costs to the amount of € 454.56 will then remain. To these costs the defendant applies a threshold of € 251. This leaves a deductible amount of € 204.
 
43. Load-carrying factors, as considered above, can only be taken into account in the determination of the attack if there is a legal basis for doing so. In the case of healthcare costs, this basis can be found in Article 6.1, second paragraph, opening words and letter d, read in conjunction with Article 6.17 of the Personal Income Tax Act 2001. In the case of claimant pursuant to Article 6.20, first paragraph, opening words and letter b, of the Personal Income Tax Act 2001, these costs will only be taken into account to the extent that, after application of the increase pursuant to Article 6.19 of the Personal Income Tax Act 2001, they together exceed 1.65% of the aggregate income before application of the personal deduction. For plaintiffs in 2018 this threshold amounts to € 15,229 * 1.65% = € 251.
 
44. The Court is of the opinion that the costs which - as far as the parties are not in dispute - fall under the policy excess and the collection costs charged by the healthcare insurer do not constitute specific healthcare costs within the meaning of Article 6.17 of the IB 2001 Act. Premiums for healthcare insurance and payments to the healthcare insurer pursuant to the policy excess do not constitute specific healthcare costs within the meaning of Article 6.18(1) of the Wet IB 2001 (Individual Healthcare Insurance Act, IB 2001). The same applies, in the District Court's opinion, to collection costs in respect of such payment obligations to the healthcare insurer, to the extent that collection costs can be regarded as expenditure incurred due to sickness or invalidity at all (as required by Article 6.17(1) of the Wet IB 2001).
 
45. In the opinion of the court, costs for a procedure before a Disputes Committee fall outside the enumeration of Article 6.17(1) of the Personal Income Tax Act 2001 and are therefore not eligible for deduction as specific healthcare costs.
 
46. In view of the foregoing, the court is of the opinion that the defendant was right to set the deductible specific healthcare costs for the year 2018 at € 204.
 
Box 3
47. The claimant has entered debts in box 3 in her declaration. This was wrongly not taken into account, according to the claimant. She further argues that if the costs of legal proceedings and medical expenses are not deducted in box 1, they must be taken into account as debts in box 3.
 
48. The defendant takes the view that the box 3 power cannot be negative. Since the claimant has no assets in box 3, it is irrelevant, in the defendant's view, whether debts in box 3 should be taken into account.
 
49. It is correct in itself that amounts owed by the claimant on 1 January 2018 which are not taken into account in box 1 or box 2 are deductible in box 3. To this end, Article 5.3(1) of the Personal Income Tax Act 2001 stipulates that the basis of return for box 3 consists of the value of the assets less the value of the debts. Article 5.2, first paragraph, of the Personal Income Tax Act 2001 stipulates that the joint basis of savings and investments is equal to the joint basis of return at the beginning of the calendar year (reference date) of the taxpayer and its partner insofar as this joint basis of return exceeds the tax-free assets of the taxpayer and its partner.
 
50. However, these provisions also show that tax is only levied in Box 3 if the balance of assets and liabilities exceeds the tax-exempt assets. Since there is no dispute between the parties that, on 1 January 2018, the plaintiff had no assets worth more than the tax-exempt assets (€30,000) and that the plaintiff was not subject to box 3 tax in these years, the deduction of debts in box 3 cannot lead to an amendment of the contested decisions for the plaintiff. Therefore, the court is not entitled to adjudicate on those debts.
 
Privacy
51. The plaintiff complains that her privacy has been violated. She received the request to file a complaint from Breda and the provisional attack from Doetinchem. She stated that she had to correspond with the defendant on five to nine different veins. This gives the plaintiff an unpleasant feeling, because she gets the idea that her details are everywhere. For this reason she also started AVG proceedings against the defendant. The claimant concludes that the invasion of her privacy must lead to the destruction of the attacks.
 
52. The defendant refers in this respect to the AVG proceedings pending before the District Court of Amsterdam and disputes that a possible invasion of privacy could lead to the annulment of the attacks, because there is no legal basis for this.
 
53. The court interprets the plaintiff's argument as an appeal to the right to respect for privacy, as enshrined in Article 10 of the Constitution (Gw) and Article 8 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR).The court thus understands the claimant's argument that she does not so much object to the levying of income tax per se, but rather to the way in which the levy and objection processes at the Tax and Customs Administration have been designed, and in particular the fact that different stages of these processes have been assigned to different organisational units established in different locations.
 
54. In the opinion of the court, the levying of the current Dutch income tax constitutes in itself an interference in the privacy of the public authorities. After all, the defendant collects and stores large amounts of information of a private nature in that context. Moreover, the interference is reinforced by the fact that the defendant has assigned various stages of the levy and objection processes to different organisational units of the Tax and Customs Administration. As a result, a relatively large number of different officials are required to gain access to the information of a private nature referred to above. In this case, as far as the court has been able to establish, the plaintiff has received mail from the Tax and Customs Administration/Particulieren, the Amsterdam office, the Tax and Customs Administration/Particulieren, Team IGS office Arnhem and the Tax and Customs Administration, Heerlen office (apparently the organisational unit Central Administrative Processes). In view of the claimant's argument, the District Court will only deal with the latter aspect of the interference.
 
55. Not all invasions of privacy constitute a violation of Article 10 of the GP and Article 8 of the ECHR. This is not the case if the interference is provided for by law and is necessary in a democratic society in the interests of national security, public safety or the economic well-being of the country, the prevention of disorder and crime, the protection of health or morals or the protection of the rights and freedoms of others (Article 8(2) of the ECHR).
 
56. In the opinion of the court, the way in which the Tax and Customs Administration has organised its proceedings under the law has been formalised. Article 3(2) of the AWR states that ministerial regulations shall lay down rules on the main lines of the organisation of the National Tax Administration and on the inspector to whom a taxpayer falls. The subdivision of the Tax and Customs Administration into the various organisational divisions with which the claimant has corresponded is regulated in Article 3 of the Tax and Customs Administration Implementation Regulations 2003. The inspector to which the claimant belongs is laid down in Article 11(1) of the Tax and Customs Administration Implementation Regulation 2003. It does not follow from these regulations that the Tax and Customs Administration/Particulate organisational unit has a centralised default notice team in Arnhem. As the establishment of the Tax and Customs Administration/Particulieren organisational unit is provided for by law itself, the court does not see this as a breach of the requirement of a legal basis.
 
57. According to the regulator, the method of organisation described above is motivated by the desire for greater flexibility in the work of the Tax and Customs Administration (see the decree of the State Secretary for Finance of 19 December 2002, no. WDB2002/835 M, Netherlands Government Gazette 2002, 247 / p. 19, p. 5). In this way, the court understands the regulator's intention with the new, partially centralised organisational form of the Tax and Customs Administration to shape the Tax and Customs Administration's work processes as efficiently as possible. This, in the opinion of the court, makes the measure necessary in a democratic society in the interest of the economic well-being of the country. The court therefore concludes that the claimant's right to respect for her privacy has not been violated. It is not for the court to answer the question of how restoration of rights within the meaning of Article 13 of the ECHR should take shape.
 
Composition of the dossier
58. The plaintiff has complained about the composition of the file in this case. She feels that this is always going wrong. For example, she does not see her own appeal between the documents accompanying the defence. In addition, the defendant in this case has also referred to proceedings number 19/6551 and has also added documents from those proceedings to the file. This appears to the plaintiff to be a deliberate deception, because that is a completely different procedure. All in all, according to the claimant, the composition of the file is selective.
 
59. According to the defendant, the Court of Amsterdam issued the number AMS 19/6551 and the case was then forwarded to the court and registered there under the number HAA 20/2618. The proceedings are therefore the same.
 
60. The court states first and foremost that pursuant to Section 8:42(1) of the General Administrative Law Act the defendant must send the documents relating to the case to the court. He has done this in his statement of defence. The court has no reason to assume that the defendant has not sent all documents relating to the case. Nor, in the opinion of the court, does that obligation go so far as to require a defendant administrative body to send an appeal submitted in the proceedings in question to the administrative court. Such a course of affairs would not be efficient, given the circumstance that a defendant administrative body correctly receives the notice of appeal from the administrative court (cf. Section 6:14(2) and Section 8:42(1) of the General Administrative Law Act).
 
61. The summary of the facts included at the beginning of this judgment shows that the District Court of Amsterdam forwarded the file with number AMS 19/6551 to the District Court because it considered itself to have no jurisdiction. The District Court registered this file under case number HAA 20/2618. Thus, as the defendant rightly argues, it concerns the same procedure, so that there is no unlawful merging of files.
 
General principles
62. The plaintiff has serious suspicions of fraud. The plaintiff has therefore reported the matter to the Public Prosecution Service on several occasions. The plaintiff claims that the principle of the protection of legitimate expectations and other principles of good administration have been infringed. She complains that the defendant's decisions, and in particular his deviation from the declaration, were insufficiently reasoned.
 
63. The court emphasises that the trial of criminal offences is not entrusted to the administrative courts. However, in these proceedings, the court may decide whether the defendant has infringed general principles of good administration, including the principle of the protection of legitimate expectations and the duty to state reasons. However, the court has not established what the breaches alleged by the plaintiff consist of, nor has it become plausible that she has been adversely affected by them. The court therefore sees no reason to annul or reduce the contested decisions.
 
Slotsom
64. In view of the foregoing, the appeal should be dismissed as unfounded in so far as it is directed against the judgment on the objection of 27 March 2020. For the rest, the appeal should be dismissed as inadmissible.
 
Legal costs
65. There are no grounds for an order to pay costs.
 
Decision
The court:
-
Dismisses the action as unfounded in so far as it is directed against the judgment on appeal of 27 March 2020; and
-
dismisses the remainder of the action as inadmissible.
This judgment was delivered by Mr C. Maas, judge, in the presence of Mr M. van Doesburg, registrar. The judgment was rendered on 27 October 2020. As a result of measures surrounding the coronavirus, this decision was not pronounced at a public verdict hearing. As soon as public pronouncement is possible again, this verdict will, if necessary, still be pronounced in public.

The way in which the Dutch Tax and Customs Administration has organised its proceedings doesn't constitute a breach of Article 8 of the ECHR, as such interference in an individual's right to privacy is consistent with the requirements of Article 8 para. 2.

English Summary

Facts

The plaintiff received a tax assessment from the Dutch Tax and Customs Administration (i.e. a letter in which it tells you how much you have to pay). She didn’t agree with its content, and therefore submitted an objection. The Tax and Customs Administration rejected the objection and maintained the assessment and the tax decision. So the plaintiff filed an appeal.

One of the grounds for appeal argued by the plaintiff was that her privacy (as enshrined in the GDPR and in Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights) has been violated. Different stages of the tax levy and objection processes have indeed been assigned to different organisational units established in different locations, which gave the plaintiff an unpleasant feeling that her details were everywhere. As a result, a relatively large number of people were required to gain access to her information.

Dispute

Does the way the tax levy and objection processes of the Dutch Tax and Customs Administration have been designed violate the plaintiff's privacy?

Holding

In the District Court's opinion, the tax levy and objection processes constitute in itself an interference with an individual's right to privacy by the public authorities. After all, the Tax and Customs Administration collects and stores large amounts of information of a private nature in that context. Such interference is reinforced by the fact that various stages of the tax levy and objection processes were assigned to different organisational units.

However, not all interference with an individual's right to privacy constitutes a breach of Article 8 of the ECHR. This is not the case if the interference is in accordance with the law and is necessary in a democratic society in the interests of national security, public safety or the economic well-being of the country, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, or for the protection of the rights and freedoms of others. (Article 8(2) of the ECHR).

According to the Court,

(1) The way in which the Tax and Customs Administration has organised its proceedings (assigning different stages of the tax levy and objection processes to different organisational units established in different locations) is regulated by the law (Article 3 of the Tax and Customs Administration Implementation Regulations 2003). It therefore meets the requirement of a legal basis.

(2) This type of organisation was prompted by the desire to shape the activities of the Tax and Customs Administration as efficiently as possible and enable greater flexibility. This makes the measure necessary in a democratic society in the interest of the economic well-being of the country.

In view of the foregoing, the Court concluded that the plaintiff's right to privacy has not been violated and the appeal was dismissed as unfounded.

Ruling

North-Holland District Court
Place of session Haarlem
Administrative law
Case number: HAA 20/2618
judgment of the single chamber of 27 October 2020 in the case between
drs. [X] , residing at [Z] , plaintiff,
and
the inspector of the Belastingdienst/Particulieren, Amsterdam office, defendant.
Process Process
The plaintiff lodged a complaint with the defendant. Since the defendant did not take a decision on the matter, the claimant served him with a notice of default and subsequently brought an action for failure to take a decision in time.
The plaintiff also gave notice of default to the defendant for failing to impose an income tax and national insurance contributions (IB/PVV) assessment for the year 2018 in time. She also brought an action in that regard.
The defendant subsequently imposed on the claimant an IB/PVV assessment for the year 2018, calculated on the basis of a taxable income from work and home of € 15,025. In doing so, he issued an order in respect of tax interest, in which an amount of € 3 was paid in tax interest. The claimant lodged both an objection and an appeal against this assessment and the interest decision.
By ruling on the objection, the defendant has maintained the assessment and the decision on tax interest. The plaintiff has also lodged an appeal.
The defendant submitted a statement of defence.
The claimant submitted further documents before the hearing. Copies of these documents were provided to the defendant.
The investigation at the hearing took place on 5 August 2020 in Haarlem.
The claimant appeared. The defendant was represented by [A] and mr. [B] .
Considerations
Facts
1. The plaintiff was born on [...] .

2. The claimant's income in the year 2018 consisted of a payment under the Participation Act in the amount of € 15,229.

3. By letter of 17 December 2018, the claimant submitted a request for data erasure to the defendant under the General Data Protection Regulation (AVG). An appeal is currently pending before the District Court of Amsterdam.

4. On 29 March 2019, the claimant's IB/PVV for the year 2018 was received by the defendant.

5. By letter dated 29 October 2019, the defendant requested additional information from the claimant following her IB/PVV declaration for the year 2018. The claimant provided this information by letter of 6 November 2019.

6. On 6 November 2019, the plaintiff also served notice of default on the defendant for failing to rule on a complaint filed by the plaintiff on 30 September 2019 at the offices of the Tax and Customs Administration, Amsterdam.

7. By letter dated 8 November 2019, the defendant informed the plaintiff that its notice of default does not relate to an application within the meaning of Article 1:3 of the General Administrative Law Act (Algemene wet bestuursrecht, Awb), so that it is not entitled to assess the right to a penalty payment. According to the letter, this notification is not subject to objection or appeal.

8. By letter of 11 November 2019, the defendant informed the claimant of its intention to derogate from its IB/PVV declaration for the year 2018.

9. By letter dated 20 November 2019, the plaintiff responded to the defendant's intention and asked him to issue a provisional judgment in accordance with her declaration.

10. By letter of 29 November 2019, the claimant responded to the defendant's letter of 8 November 2019. The subject matter of this letter is mentioned: "Your letter dated 8 Nov 2019 regarding IGS. Objection".

11. On 5 December 2019, the defendant announced that it would impose the IB/PVV assessment for the year 2018 in accordance with its letter of 11 November 2019.

12. By letter of 9 December 2019, the plaintiff lodged an appeal with the District Court of Amsterdam against the defendant's refusal to make a (correct) decision. The Court of Amsterdam registered this appeal under case number AMS 19/6551 and requested plaintiff by letter of 10 December 2019 to send a copy of the notice of default. By letter of 18 December 2019, the plaintiff sent the notice of default of 6 November 2019 and the letter of the defendant of 8 November 2019 to the Court of Amsterdam.

13. By letter of 8 December 2019, received by the defendant on 12 December 2019, the plaintiff objected to the letter of 5 December 2019. The defendant interpreted this letter as an objection to the IB/PVV assessment still to be imposed for the year 2018, and maintained the processing of the objection.

14. By letter of 20 January 2020, the plaintiff served notice of default on the defendant on the ground that it had not yet issued the IB/PVV assessment for the year 2018 and had failed to rule on the objection of 8 December 2019.

15. On 22 January 2020, the District Court of Amsterdam forwarded the appeal which it had registered under case number AMS 19/6551 to the District Court because it considered that it lacked jurisdiction. The court registered this case under case number HAA 20/2618.

16. By letter of 23 January 2020, the defendant informed the claimant that its notice of default of 20 January 2020 does not relate to an application within the meaning of Article 1:3 of the General Administrative Law Act (Awb), because filing a declaration is not an application. As a result, he is not entitled to assess the right to a penalty payment. According to the letter, this notification is not subject to objection or appeal.

17. By letter of 2 February 2020, the claimant brought a 'direct action' before the court 'concerning IB 2018', complaining, inter alia, that the defendant had not issued an IB/PVV assessment for the year 2018. The claimant also referred to the letter of formal notice of 20 January 2020. The Court included this letter in the case file number HAA 20/2618.

18. On 5 March 2020, the defendant imposed on the claimant the assessment IB/PVV for the year 2018. This assessment includes a refund of € 79 (including tax interest to be reimbursed).

19. By letter of 5 March 2020, the claimant lodged an appeal against this attack with the court. The Court also included this letter in the case file number HAA 20/2618.

20. On 12 March 2020, the defendant asked the plaintiff to state the reasons for her objection of 12 December 2019. By letter of 15 March 2020, the claimant responded and asked the defendant to agree to a direct appeal.

21. On 27 March 2020, the defendant gave its decision on the objection of 12 December 2019.

22. By letter of 6 April 2020, received at the Court on 7 April 2020, the plaintiff supplemented her appeal in the case with number HAA 20/2618, commenting, inter alia, on the judgment on the objection.

Admissibility of the action
23. Before assessing the points of contention between the parties, the court will assess the admissibility of the appeal ex officio.

24. From the plaintiff's letters received by the court, the court concludes that the plaintiff appeals against the defendant's subsequent decisions:

The absence of a decision on the claimant's complaint lodged with the defendant on (Default notice from plaintiff dated 6 November 2019);
The non-imposition of IB/PVV assessment for the year 2018 (plaintiff's formal notice of 20 January 2020);
Failure to rule on the objection of 8 December 2019 (plaintiff's formal notice of 20 January 2020);
The IB/PVV assessment imposed on the claimant by the defendant for the year 2018, dated 5 March 2020;
Judgment on defendant's objection of 27 March 2020.
25. The Court considers as follows in this respect.

No appeal may be lodged against a decision on the handling of a complaint about the conduct of an administrative body on the basis of Article 9:3 of the General Administrative Law Act (Awb). Since failure to take a decision in time pursuant to Section 6:2(1)(b) of the General Administrative Law Act is equated with a decision, no appeal may be lodged against it either. Insofar as the appeal is directed against the failure to reach a decision on the claimant's complaint, the appeal is therefore inadmissible. For reasons of procedural economy, the court will pronounce the declaration of inadmissibility itself.
An assessment, although not a decision on application, is considered a decision within the meaning of Section 6:2, first paragraph, opening words and letter b, of the Awb, so that the absence of such an assessment is assimilated to a decision against which, pursuant to Section 8:1 of the Awb read in conjunction with Section 26 of the Algemene Wet inzake rijksbelastingen (AWR), an appeal may be lodged with the administrative court (see the judgment of the Supreme Court of 24 June 2011, ECLI:NL:HR:2011:BP8929). Pursuant to Section 7:1(1)(f) of the General Administrative Law Act (Awb), it is not necessary to first go through the objection procedure in such a case. In the plaintiff's letter of 2 February 2020, the court reads an appeal against the lack of assessment IB/PVV for the year 2018. However, it follows from the aforementioned judgment of the Supreme Court that such an appeal is inadmissible if the appeal is filed before the administrative body is in default. In a case such as the present, this is not the case if the assessment has been issued before the expiry of the statutory period prescribed in article 11, paragraph 3 of the AWR. As will be considered below, the assessment IB/PVV for the year 2018 has in fact been issued within that period in respect of the claimant. This means that the appeal is also inadmissible to that extent.
The same applies to the appeal against the absence of a decision on an objection relating to the IB/PVV assessment for the year 2018 and the accompanying interest decision. As will be considered below, the defendant did not exceed the time-limit for lodging an appeal and was therefore not at fault. The action is therefore also inadmissible to that extent.
It follows from the foregoing that, in principle, an appeal is possible in respect of the IB/PVV assessment imposed on the claimant for the year 2018, dated 5 March 2020, and the accompanying decision concerning tax interest. However, the person granted the right to lodge an appeal with an administrative court must lodge an objection before lodging an appeal (Article 7:1(1) of the General Administrative Law Act). To the extent that the claimant wished to lodge a direct appeal against the assessment and the decision on tax interest, her appeal is therefore inadmissible.
However, the appeal is admissible to the extent that the claimant has lodged an appeal against the decision on the objection of 27 March 2020, which relates to the aforementioned assessment and order. The Court reads such an appeal in the plaintiff's letter of 6 April 2020, which is also directed against the judgment on objection.
26. The foregoing means that the appeal is only admissible to the extent that it is directed against the judgment on objection relating to that IB/PVV assessment for the year 2018 and the decision on tax interest thereon.

Dispute
27. In dispute is the answer to the following questions:
-
Was the attack imposed in good time?
-
Did the defendant decide on the claimant's objection in due time?
-
Is there a right to deduct costs related to legal proceedings?
-
Is there a right to deduct specific healthcare costs?
-
If the costs relating to legal proceedings and healthcare costs are not deducted from Box 1 income, can they be taken into account as debts in Box 3?
-
Has the defendant violated the plaintiff's privacy?
-
Has the defendant compiled the file correctly?
-
Has the defendant infringed the general principles of good administration?
Assessment of the dispute
Attack imposed in good time?
28. The plaintiff takes the view that the attack was established too late.

29. The defendant takes the view that the attack was imposed within the period of time allowed for its imposition.

30. Article 11(3) of the AWR stipulates that the power to determine the tax assessment lapses three years after the time at which the tax debt has arisen. Pursuant to Section 11, paragraph 4, of the AWR, an income tax liability arises at the time when the period for which the tax is levied ends.

31. The period of taxation in this case is the tax year 2018. This period shall end on 31 December 2018. This means that the defendant had the power to issue an assessment until 31 December 2021. The assessment was dated 5 March 2020 and in these proceedings it was neither stated nor revealed that the assessment was not notified to the claimant until after that date. The District Court is therefore of the opinion that the assessment was issued on time.

A timely decision on an objection?
32. The plaintiff argues that there was no decision on the objection. Therefore, the appeal of 2 February 2020 concerns the failure to issue a decision.

33. The defendant takes the view that the objection could only be dealt with after the attack had been imposed. That was done on 5 March 2020. The judgment on the objection was rendered on 27 March 2020 and is therefore timely.

34. The court first of all holds that in her letter of 2 February 2020, the plaintiff appeals against the failure to rule on her objection to the defendant's letter of 5 December 2019. As considered above, her appeal is inadmissible to that extent.

35. To the extent that the plaintiff wishes to argue that the contested judgment on the objection of 27 March 2020 was not rendered in time, the court will consider as follows. Pursuant to Section 7:10(1) of the General Administrative Law Act (Awb), an administrative body must decide in a case such as the present within six weeks, counting from the day after the day on which the period for lodging the notice of objection has expired. Pursuant to Section 22j of the AWR, this period commences with the date of the assessment (5 March 2020) and not with the receipt of the notice of objection on 12 December 2019. In view of the above, the period expired on 16 April 2020, so that the decision on the objection was made within the deadline.

Costs of legal proceedings
36. In her IB/PVV return for the year 2018, the claimant deducted an amount of € 1,323 in legal costs. These costs have been classified in the declarations under the deductible costs of periodic benefits. The claimant is of the opinion that these costs reduce her ability to pay and should therefore be deducted.

37. The defendant did not allow this amount to be deducted. He disputes that the costs were incurred to acquire, collect and maintain the distribution pursuant to the Participation Act.

38. The plaintiff is right to point out that income tax is intended by the legislator as a means of taxation (see, for example, Parliamentary Papers II 1998/99, 26 727, no. 3, pp. 4-7). However, it is not the case that this intention of the legislator already means that the claimant is entitled to deduct costs which reduce her ability to pay. Various regulations in the Wet inkomstenbelasting 2001 (Income Tax Act 2001) (including the personal deductions to which the claimant is entitled) take account of certain limitations on capacity. It is up to the legislator to determine which limitations are taken into account and which are not. The legislator's decision not to make a statutory provision for the type of costs plaintiff faces cannot in principle be called into question in court, because the court may under no circumstances assess the inner value or fairness of the law (Article 11 of the General Provisions Act). Nor is the judge free, in the given constitutional relations, to assess the law against the general principles of law, should the principle of force majeure already be taken into account (cf. the judgment of the Supreme Court of 14 April 1989, ECLI:NL:HR:1989:AD5725).

39. The claimant has entered the legal costs incurred in her tax return in the field of deductible expenses in respect of periodic benefits. This field relates to the costs that are charged on benefits and benefits in kind in so far as they have been incurred for the acquisition, collection and maintenance of those benefits and benefits in kind (Article 3.108 of the Wet IB 2001). In order to be able to deduct such costs, the claimant must demonstrate that she has incurred the costs of acquiring, collecting and maintaining her benefits. In the opinion of the court, she has failed to do so in the face of the substantiated dispute by the defendant. The court can in fact deduce from the documents of the proceedings what kind of costs are involved (court registry costs, travel expenses, registered letters, postage stamps, etc.), but not to what extent these costs were incurred for proceedings to acquire, collect and maintain the benefit under the Participation Act. The court understands from the plaintiff's documents that these are not only proceedings relating to a benefit, but also, for example, proceedings in the field of taxes, care allowance and youth care. However, the court cannot deduce from the documents what part of the costs relate to the proceedings in relation to a benefit.

40. The court therefore concludes that the costs incurred by the plaintiff in the year 2018 for the various legal proceedings are not deductible.

Specific healthcare costs
41. In the claimant's IB/PVV declaration for the year 2018 an amount of € 1,669 in specific healthcare costs has been deducted. According to the claimant, these costs were incurred on the prescription of a physician. According to the claimant, in view of her income and ability to pay, it would not be balanced to exclude the costs of deduction. She argues that if she did not pay those costs, she would be left out in the open.

42. The defendant takes the view that it has correctly established the deduction in respect of specific healthcare costs. According to the defendant, a collection premium (€ 583.37) and expenses for proceedings at Stichting Klachten en Geschillen Zorgverzekeringen (€ 56.20) do not constitute healthcare costs. For the other costs the defendant has eliminated payment costs and excess. Only the uninsured dental costs to the amount of € 454.56 will then remain. To these costs the defendant applies a threshold of € 251. This leaves a deductible amount of € 204.

43. Load-carrying factors, as considered above, can only be taken into account in the determination of the attack if there is a legal basis for doing so. In the case of healthcare costs, this basis can be found in Article 6.1, second paragraph, opening words and letter d, read in conjunction with Article 6.17 of the Personal Income Tax Act 2001. In the case of claimant pursuant to Article 6.20, first paragraph, opening words and letter b, of the Personal Income Tax Act 2001, these costs will only be taken into account to the extent that, after application of the increase pursuant to Article 6.19 of the Personal Income Tax Act 2001, they together exceed 1.65% of the aggregate income before application of the personal deduction. For plaintiffs in 2018 this threshold amounts to € 15,229 * 1.65% = € 251.

44. The Court is of the opinion that the costs which - as far as the parties are not in dispute - fall under the policy excess and the collection costs charged by the healthcare insurer do not constitute specific healthcare costs within the meaning of Article 6.17 of the IB 2001 Act. Premiums for healthcare insurance and payments to the healthcare insurer pursuant to the policy excess do not constitute specific healthcare costs within the meaning of Article 6.18(1) of the Wet IB 2001 (Individual Healthcare Insurance Act, IB 2001). The same applies, in the District Court's opinion, to collection costs in respect of such payment obligations to the healthcare insurer, to the extent that collection costs can be regarded as expenditure incurred due to sickness or invalidity at all (as required by Article 6.17(1) of the Wet IB 2001).

45. In the opinion of the court, costs for a procedure before a Disputes Committee fall outside the enumeration of Article 6.17(1) of the Personal Income Tax Act 2001 and are therefore not eligible for deduction as specific healthcare costs.

46. In view of the foregoing, the court is of the opinion that the defendant was right to set the deductible specific healthcare costs for the year 2018 at € 204.

Box 3
47. The claimant has entered debts in box 3 in her declaration. This was wrongly not taken into account, according to the claimant. She further argues that if the costs of legal proceedings and medical expenses are not deducted in box 1, they must be taken into account as debts in box 3.

48. The defendant takes the view that the box 3 power cannot be negative. Since the claimant has no assets in box 3, it is irrelevant, in the defendant's view, whether debts in box 3 should be taken into account.

49. It is correct in itself that amounts owed by the claimant on 1 January 2018 which are not taken into account in box 1 or box 2 are deductible in box 3. To this end, Article 5.3(1) of the Personal Income Tax Act 2001 stipulates that the basis of return for box 3 consists of the value of the assets less the value of the debts. Article 5.2, first paragraph, of the Personal Income Tax Act 2001 stipulates that the joint basis of savings and investments is equal to the joint basis of return at the beginning of the calendar year (reference date) of the taxpayer and its partner insofar as this joint basis of return exceeds the tax-free assets of the taxpayer and its partner.

50. However, these provisions also show that tax is only levied in Box 3 if the balance of assets and liabilities exceeds the tax-exempt assets. Since there is no dispute between the parties that, on 1 January 2018, the plaintiff had no assets worth more than the tax-exempt assets (€30,000) and that the plaintiff was not subject to box 3 tax in these years, the deduction of debts in box 3 cannot lead to an amendment of the contested decisions for the plaintiff. Therefore, the court is not entitled to adjudicate on those debts.

Privacy
51. The plaintiff complains that her privacy has been violated. She received the request to file a complaint from Breda and the provisional attack from Doetinchem. She stated that she had to correspond with the defendant on five to nine different veins. This gives the plaintiff an unpleasant feeling, because she gets the idea that her details are everywhere. For this reason she also started AVG proceedings against the defendant. The claimant concludes that the invasion of her privacy must lead to the destruction of the attacks.

52. The defendant refers in this respect to the AVG proceedings pending before the District Court of Amsterdam and disputes that a possible invasion of privacy could lead to the annulment of the attacks, because there is no legal basis for this.

53. The court interprets the plaintiff's argument as an appeal to the right to respect for privacy, as enshrined in Article 10 of the Constitution (Gw) and Article 8 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR).The court thus understands the claimant's argument that she does not so much object to the levying of income tax per se, but rather to the way in which the levy and objection processes at the Tax and Customs Administration have been designed, and in particular the fact that different stages of these processes have been assigned to different organisational units established in different locations.

54. In the opinion of the court, the levying of the current Dutch income tax constitutes in itself an interference in the privacy of the public authorities. After all, the defendant collects and stores large amounts of information of a private nature in that context. Moreover, the interference is reinforced by the fact that the defendant has assigned various stages of the levy and objection processes to different organisational units of the Tax and Customs Administration. As a result, a relatively large number of different officials are required to gain access to the information of a private nature referred to above. In this case, as far as the court has been able to establish, the plaintiff has received mail from the Tax and Customs Administration/Particulieren, the Amsterdam office, the Tax and Customs Administration/Particulieren, Team IGS office Arnhem and the Tax and Customs Administration, Heerlen office (apparently the organisational unit Central Administrative Processes). In view of the claimant's argument, the District Court will only deal with the latter aspect of the interference.

55. Not all invasions of privacy constitute a violation of Article 10 of the GP and Article 8 of the ECHR. This is not the case if the interference is provided for by law and is necessary in a democratic society in the interests of national security, public safety or the economic well-being of the country, the prevention of disorder and crime, the protection of health or morals or the protection of the rights and freedoms of others (Article 8(2) of the ECHR).

56. In the opinion of the court, the way in which the Tax and Customs Administration has organised its proceedings under the law has been formalised. Article 3(2) of the AWR states that ministerial regulations shall lay down rules on the main lines of the organisation of the National Tax Administration and on the inspector to whom a taxpayer falls. The subdivision of the Tax and Customs Administration into the various organisational divisions with which the claimant has corresponded is regulated in Article 3 of the Tax and Customs Administration Implementation Regulations 2003. The inspector to which the claimant belongs is laid down in Article 11(1) of the Tax and Customs Administration Implementation Regulation 2003. It does not follow from these regulations that the Tax and Customs Administration/Particulate organisational unit has a centralised default notice team in Arnhem. As the establishment of the Tax and Customs Administration/Particulieren organisational unit is provided for by law itself, the court does not see this as a breach of the requirement of a legal basis.

57. According to the regulator, the method of organisation described above is motivated by the desire for greater flexibility in the work of the Tax and Customs Administration (see the decree of the State Secretary for Finance of 19 December 2002, no. WDB2002/835 M, Netherlands Government Gazette 2002, 247 / p. 19, p. 5). In this way, the court understands the regulator's intention with the new, partially centralised organisational form of the Tax and Customs Administration to shape the Tax and Customs Administration's work processes as efficiently as possible. This, in the opinion of the court, makes the measure necessary in a democratic society in the interest of the economic well-being of the country. The court therefore concludes that the claimant's right to respect for her privacy has not been violated. It is not for the court to answer the question of how restoration of rights within the meaning of Article 13 of the ECHR should take shape.

Composition of the dossier
58. The plaintiff has complained about the composition of the file in this case. She feels that this is always going wrong. For example, she does not see her own appeal between the documents accompanying the defence. In addition, the defendant in this case has also referred to proceedings number 19/6551 and has also added documents from those proceedings to the file. This appears to the plaintiff to be a deliberate deception, because that is a completely different procedure. All in all, according to the claimant, the composition of the file is selective.

59. According to the defendant, the Court of Amsterdam issued the number AMS 19/6551 and the case was then forwarded to the court and registered there under the number HAA 20/2618. The proceedings are therefore the same.

60. The court states first and foremost that pursuant to Section 8:42(1) of the General Administrative Law Act the defendant must send the documents relating to the case to the court. He has done this in his statement of defence. The court has no reason to assume that the defendant has not sent all documents relating to the case. Nor, in the opinion of the court, does that obligation go so far as to require a defendant administrative body to send an appeal submitted in the proceedings in question to the administrative court. Such a course of affairs would not be efficient, given the circumstance that a defendant administrative body correctly receives the notice of appeal from the administrative court (cf. Section 6:14(2) and Section 8:42(1) of the General Administrative Law Act).

61. The summary of the facts included at the beginning of this judgment shows that the District Court of Amsterdam forwarded the file with number AMS 19/6551 to the District Court because it considered itself to have no jurisdiction. The District Court registered this file under case number HAA 20/2618. Thus, as the defendant rightly argues, it concerns the same procedure, so that there is no unlawful merging of files.

General principles
62. The plaintiff has serious suspicions of fraud. The plaintiff has therefore reported the matter to the Public Prosecution Service on several occasions. The plaintiff claims that the principle of the protection of legitimate expectations and other principles of good administration have been infringed. She complains that the defendant's decisions, and in particular his deviation from the declaration, were insufficiently reasoned.

63. The court emphasises that the trial of criminal offences is not entrusted to the administrative courts. However, in these proceedings, the court may decide whether the defendant has infringed general principles of good administration, including the principle of the protection of legitimate expectations and the duty to state reasons. However, the court has not established what the breaches alleged by the plaintiff consist of, nor has it become plausible that she has been adversely affected by them. The court therefore sees no reason to annul or reduce the contested decisions.

Slotsom
64. In view of the foregoing, the appeal should be dismissed as unfounded in so far as it is directed against the judgment on the objection of 27 March 2020. For the rest, the appeal should be dismissed as inadmissible.

Legal costs
65. There are no grounds for an order to pay costs.
