    • You can always pay in instalments
    • Together, we will check if you meet the conditions for exemption. If you are eligible for exemption, then you will not have to pay part of the taxes.
    • We will look into how much you can pay and we will agree on a special payment scheme.
    • We will make sure a debt collector will not visit

What happens if you do nothing?

  1. Unfortunately, we cannot take your situation into account if you do not contact us. This means we will proceed with collection. This means extra collection fees that can quickly mount up. So always contact us. This enables us to find a suitable solution together.

     

Why are you paying taxes to the RBG?

Tasks of water authority and municipality Water authority • Cleaning dirty water using waste water treatment plants • Dyke maintenance • Regulating the water levels • Providing clean water Municipality • Waste collection • Sewerage maintenance • General provisions: o Roads and streets o Trees and shrubs o Playground o Community centre

The RBG collects taxes for water councils and municipalities. You are contributing to the work water councils and municipalities do for you and others.
The water council cleans dirty water using water treatment facilities. The water councils also make sure that the chances of flooding are as slim as possible. By maintaining dykes, for example. And by pumping water. The water council also retains water in case of drought.
The municipality is in charge of waste collection and maintaining the sewer system. This is the system of pipes that transports your dirty water to the water council’s treatment facility. Moreover, the municipality also takes care of many other matters in your city. Think of trees, bushes, streets, community centres and playgrounds.
