The government order is a governmental instrument and not a payment product. This scheme is used by various government authorities to collect claims such as tax debts if the debtor fails to pay his or her debt despite the reminders and the injunctions. A list of creditor banks managed by the Dutch Payment Association are allowed to collect based on the government order. The debtor doesn’t have the right to request for a refund for such order once the payment is executed.

The NLGSDD.GO.CREDITOR.BIC.LIST application allows banks to store the details of all the creditor banks which are authorized for collection of the government order, provided by the Dutch Payment Association.
