Photo: Bic via Wikimedia Commons Dutch parents who were wrongly accused of fraud by the Dutch tax office and forced to repay thousands in childcare benefit want their names cleared and better support from local councils. Rotterdam city council last Friday announced that it will be repaying the private debts that the worst-affected 50 local victims took on in order to pay back benefits. But others have told DutchNews.nl that it is unclear what has happened with €11m the government has given local councils to help, while consistent, practical support is desperately needed. ‘It won’t work for every council to have its own policies,’ said Lynn Woodrow, one wronged parent from Sneek in Friesland. ‘It’s not that council employees don’t want to help: they don’t get any information. The communication between the VNG [councils’ association], the tax office and the town councils seems very bad.’
