How do you get part of your union contribution back?
AOb-members who work in education can benefit from a tax benefit scheme whereby you get a part, 30 to 50 percent, of your paid union dues back. At least, if that is regulated in your collective labor agreement. You will then receive a part of the contribution back at the same time as the year-end bonus. If you want to make use of the benefit scheme, you must submit a request to your school board before 1 November by filling in an application form and AObcontribution statement.
De AOb will send you an email with the form around 1 October. We will send the email to the email address known to us. Had nothing? Check your junk mail folder or contact our staff. Did you sign up on MyAOb, then the form can also be requested here via My Data.

Yes, the contribution is 4 percent indexed in 2023. The General Meeting (GA) of the AOb decided that in October 2022. However, inflation has risen much more and the governance of the AOb has decided to include part of the increase and not to link up with the actual wage and price development.
Teachers, OOPs from scale 9, management and self-employed persons will pay 2023 euro cents more in 0,75 than in 2022. Educational support staff up to and including scale 8 will pay 0,55 euro cents more than last year. Retired members pay 0,45 eurocent more. Curious about all amounts? View the table.
