Stacking schemes: example
The arrangements can be combined. Suppose your 8-year-old child wants clarinet lessons. The cost for group clarinet lessons is €725 per year.
Amstelveenpas: You get 50% discount on the cost. This reduces the amount from €725 to €362.50.
Reimbursement for child of 8: You can still receive €500 reimbursement.
With both arrangements combined, you end up paying nothing for clarinet lessons because the €500 fee covers the remaining cost of €362.50.
