Personal budget (PGB) Youth
Are you eligible for specialist Youth Services? You can get this support through a care provider with which the local authority has a contract. We call this Care in Kind (ZIN). Do you want to buy your own support? If so, you may be eligible for a Personal Care Budget (PGB).
Purchasing support using a PGB
You can read more about the conditions and rules for purchasing support with a PGB in our PGB information leaflet. The 10 PGB skill points will help you check whether you are able to purchase support with a PGB yourself. The PGB budget plan is the plan you fill in if you qualify for support under the Youth Act and you actually want to purchase support via a PGB. If you would like to purchase formal support with a PGB, the care provider of your choice must be registered with the local authority as a formal care provider.
Registering a care provider for formal care
Before a care provider can offer formal support, the local authority will assess whether it meets the quality and other requirements. Before this can be done, the care provider must register with the local authority as a formal care provider. To this end, the care provider must complete the registration form for care providers offering PGB formal support (PDF, 219.68 KB), after which this will be assessed by the local authority.
You can read more about registering in the information for care providers (PDF, 158.85 KB). Or you can read the frequently-asked questions about care provider registration (PDF, 189.03 KB) document.
One of the quality requirements is that the care provider can demonstrate that it has the knowledge and skills needed to provide the support. This can be done with a certificate for the support or an experience certificate.
Who is the budget administrator?
We call the person who receives the support the budget administrator. The budget administrator is the person who is partially or ultimately responsible for the execution of the tasks related to a PGB. As a budget holder, this may be you. If you are unable to take care of all PGB tasks yourself, you can ask someone else to take care of the budget management as a representative. With the representative authorisation form, you authorise a representative to carry out the role of budget administrator. Complete the form and send it with your PGB budget plan to your contact person.
PGB and tax
You receive care that is funded by a PGB
In this case, the PGB is not considered income. You receive the PGB as a personal budget holder and do not pay income tax over this.
You provide care that is funded by a PGB
In this case, the PGB is considered income. As a care provider, you receive the PGB and pay income tax over this. This still applies if you provide care to a family member or someone from your social network.
You can find more information about the PGB and tax on the website of the Tax Authorities.
