For whom?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

The person holding an asset on, under or above municipal or water board land. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Municipality<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

For example, if you attached advertising to the front wall or you display goods and stalls. Or if you have a terrace on municipal space. Or if you have a pavement, stairs or pipes outside your own land or building. For example, caf\u00e9 owners pay for their terrace. Stall holders pay for displaying their merchandise above municipal space. Also, residents of a houseboat pay municipal sufferance tax rather than OZB property tax.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Water Board<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

For example a bridge, a mooring, berths for a boat, or ditches. Is there more than one user or owner? Then the water board appoints a person that receives the tax bill. The RBG cannot split the tax bill. But you can settle the tax bill with the other users at your own initiative.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

How is the tax calculated?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

A specific rate and calculation unit is applied for each type of municipal sufferance tax asset. The RBG calculates the tax bill by multiplying the number of units by the rate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\t
