If I submit after the June 1st deadline, will I still receive my fees?

Yes, you will still receive it.
Please note, however, that we may not be able to process the form in time to include your payment in the regular distribution period in November/December. In that case, we will process your form at a later stage, and you will receive your payment during the supplementary distribution in May/June, for the previous year.

Important deadlines:

  • Online submission via mijnpictoright.nl: available until June 1.
    If you submit after this date, your payment will be processed in the supplementary distribution of the following year.

  • Deadline for the supplementary distribution: February 15.
    Submissions after this date will also be moved to the next year’s supplementary distribution.
