Requesting a waiver

Are you living on a low income or have low assets? Are you unable to pay your taxes? Then you can apply for remission of municipal taxes and water board charges at the Northern Tax Office. Since January 1, 2018, the Northern Tax Office has been implementing the waiver scheme for the municipality of Tytsjerksteradiel and assesses waiver applications. If the Northern Tax Office grants you remission, you do not have to pay these taxes.

Requesting a waiver

I always get automatic remission, why not this year?

An automatic review is conducted every year. Probably the data needed for this review are not yet complete. This does not necessarily mean that you are not entitled to (partial) relief. You can still submit a remission request via the website https://noordelijkbelastingkantoor.nl/kwijtschelding.

I can't select the municipal tax when requesting remission, what should I do?

Your municipal tax is not visible through the Northern Tax Office website. You can select your assessment from the Water Board and proceed to submit your request. When reviewing your request for remission, your municipal tax assessment will automatically be included.

Can I also submit a request for remission in writing?

You can get a paper waiver application form by calling the Northern Tax Office at 088-7879000. The form will then be sent to you within 14 business days.

I need help filling out forms, where can I go?

Do you have trouble filling out forms? And is there no one in your own environment who can help you with this? Then contact Kearn.

I have received energy allowance, is this taken into account?

The energy allowance paid out of up to €1,300 is not considered income or assets when calculating the waiver. In short, the amount paid out (which we consider a target payment), does not affect the calculation of the remission.

Information on additional asset exemption

Starting with the 2023 municipal tax assessment, in addition to the regular exemption of assets, we apply an additional asset exemption. This additional capital exemption amounts to €2,000 for a spouse or 2 partners, €1,800 for a single parent and €1,500 for a single person.

This additional asset exemption is in addition to the regular asset exemption.
