Taxes, waiver

If you have an income at or around the welfare level and little savings or other assets, you may be eligible for a waiver. You will not have to pay all or part of your taxes.

Your eligibility for a waiver depends on your personal and financial circumstances (such as income, assets and housing costs).

You will only receive a waiver for:

- property tax (OZB woningen)
- sewerage levy
- waste levy

What you need to know

You will not receive a waiver if:

You have a car that is worth more than €3,350. A car with a higher current value is only permitted if the car is necessary due to illness or disability. You can look up the current value of your car on, for example, Bovag or ANWB.
You own a home and there is surplus value. There is always surplus value if the current WOZ value of your home is higher than your current mortgage debt. You can find the WOZ value of your home on your municipal tax assessment.
You paid the assessment more than 3 months ago.
You have previously applied for a waiver of the same assessment.
