Municipal tax remission

What do you need to know

• You can only apply for a remission if the tax assessment is in your name
• You can request a waiver for:
  • waste charges
  • Sewage charges
  • Property tax (OZB)
  • Water board tax (Waternet) 

• You have not yet paid or you paid the full amount of the assessment less than 3 months ago

Good to know: When applying for your municipal tax remission, we always include the water board tax. We report this to Waternet.

Entrepreneurs

• You are self-employed (self-employed without staff)
• You have a BBZ benefit (decree on assistance for the self-employed)
• You can only request a remission for private municipal taxes, not your company's

students

• In order to assess your remission, we need an overview of the structure of your student grant. If you also have other income in addition to your student finance, you should also send a monthly overview of this

When can you apply for a waiver

• You have an income around the level of social assistance
• You have a (joint) balance on your bank and savings account equal to or lower than the amounts below:
  • For a single person: €3.462
  • For a single parent (AOW): €4.220
  • For married couples/cohabiting couples: €4.602
    • If you have a little more savings, it is still possible to apply for a waiver
      Were you born before January 1, 1935? Then you may have € 3.350 extra savings in your accounts
• You own a home where there is no surplus value
• You have 1 registration number of a motor vehicle in your name, the purchase value of which does not exceed € 3.350. The value may only be higher than this amount if you can demonstrate that this car is necessary for you. For example, because of a disability or to perform your profession. You can prove this with an employer's statement or a disability card.

When can you not apply for a remission?

• You have money in your bank or savings accounts and/or other savings accounts above these amounts: €3.462 (for single persons), €4.220 (for single parents), €4.602 (for married couples or cohabitants).
• If you have surplus value (value of the home less the mortgage debt) on your home
• The purchase value of your car is more than € 3.350 

Payment deferral during application

• If we are reviewing your application, your payment will automatically be deferred. This also applies to direct debit.
• Please note that your application may be rejected. You still have to pay
  • Has your application been rejected and are there still outstanding amounts? Then this will be divided over the upcoming payment dates
  • Has your application been rejected and has the last payment date already passed? Then you must pay the total amount manually in one go within 1 days
  • Is it not possible to pay this amount in one go? Then you must make an appointment as soon as possible to pay the payment in several instalments. You can read more about this on the page pay municipal taxes
• Because each waiver request is considered separately, it can take a few months before you receive a message

• All figures of your company for the past (full) tax year
