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.
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.
A tenant must always pay water authority tax: the water system charge for residents and the water treatment charge for private customers.
If you moved out of The Netherlands, you may still have to pay an outstanding amount. Please check what kind of bill you received: waterschapsbelasting (water authority tax) or drinkwater (tap water).

As a tenant, you have to pay water authority taxes every year. The amount you have to pay depends on how many people live at the address.
You will receive the assessment if you have been registered at that particular address the longest. Even if you are not the main occupant.
You cannot file an objection to this.
Did you receive multiple bills for water authority tax? That can happen. Some of the assessments of previous years will only be sent this year.
All of the information on your tax assessment must be correct. Sometimes it takes a bit longer to gather all information. Therefore, you received the assessment at a later date.
Perhaps your payment and the payment reminder were sent around the same time.
Perhaps you received your assessment via your personal message box ('Berichtenbox') at MijnOverheid. Did you sign up to receive messages from Waternet? Then you will receive your assessment via MijnOverheid.
Every household with more than one person pays for 3 pollution units.
If you are a homeowner you might receive 2 assessments for the same year.
If you received a (second) payment reminder, your original assessment is no longer listed on My Waternet. You can request a copy of your assessment.

We are sending out water authority tax assessments later than usual. This is due to ICT problems. These have now been resolved. Unfortunately, it did cause delays. We are catching up on those now. We understand this can be quite inconvenient for you and apologise in advance.
