On 1 October 2020, we communicated that the increased thresholds for wage garnishment and wage transfer were not extended. Meanwhile, the government took new measures to give debtors more financial breathing space again during the corona crisis. As a result, the thresholds for wage garnishment and wage attachment are raised again since 24 December 2020.
What percentage is the transferable part of the salary?
Until 31 March 2021, the following thresholds apply again. Is there a dependent child? For each child you must deduct 84 EUR form the attachable part of the wages.
