Your bank account statement specifies which bills you have paid:
- Does it list a payment to 'Waternet drinkwater'? Then the amount is for your tap water.
- Does it list a payment to 'Waternet/AGV'? And does the description state 'Waterschapsbelastingen'? Then the amount is for water authority tax. You will be charged water authority tax if you live in the service area of Water Authority Amstel, Gooi en Vecht.
