Exemption
Exemption means that you no longer have to pay a debt. Usually because you do not have enough income. Are you unable to pay municipal taxes? You can apply for exemption of waste disposal levy, sewerage levy, WOZ and property tax and/or dog tax (for a maximum of 1 dog).
The municipality tests your eligibility for remission based on rules set by the central government. We also use the cost-sharing standard. This means that we check whether there are co-residents aged 21 and over in the household who can help to pay.
Apply for exemption
You can apply for exemption at the Digital Tax Desk (Dutch only) or with the municipal tax exemption application form (Dutch form). Do you have any questions or need help filling in this form? If so, please call us on the short number 14 040.
