My water authority tax is wrong. What should I do?
Do you suspect that your water tax assessment is incorrect? Please read our explanation of the tax assessment. You can also file an objection online.
Will my assessment change if I move?
Are you moving out of the service area of Regional Public Water Authority Amstel, Gooi en Vecht? Then you will automatically receive a reduced assessment for the year in which you have moved. The following year, you will be charged water authority tax by a different water authority.
Did the number of people of your household change in the course of the year? And you currently live alone? Then we will also reduce your assessment. You will be charged a lower water treatment charge for the remainder of the year.
Do I have to pay my water authority taxes myself? I thought that the expat agency/rental broker would take care of everything.
A tenant must always pay water authority tax: the water system charge for residents and the water treatment charge for private customers.
