Do you usually request remission for your water authority taxes from your municipality? Please continue reading, because things are slightly different this year.
We have made agreements about remission with various municipalities:
If you live in one of these municipalities, you will normally request remission directly from the municipality and not from Waternet. This allows you to request remission for both your water authority taxes and municipal taxes at the same time.
Because this year we have started sending out the assessments later, you may already have applied for remission from the municipality and received a ruling. What you need to do now depends on your situation:
Have you given us permission to automatically check every year whether you are entitled to remission? Then you don't have to do anything. We will do the same check this year. Only this time you will receive our final ruling later than usual.
