Apply for remission of taxes

Do you have to manage on a low income or do you have low assets? Are you unable to pay the tax? Then you can apply for remission for the municipal taxes and water board levies from the Northern Tax Office. The Northern Tax Office has been implementing the remission scheme for the municipality of Tytsjerksteradiel since January 1, 2018 and assesses the remission applications. If the Northern Tax Office grants you remission, you do not have to pay these taxes.

I always get automatic remission, why not this year?

An automatic assessment is carried out every year. It is likely that the information required for this assessment is not yet complete. This does not necessarily mean that you are not entitled to (partial) remission. 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 assessment is not visible via the website of the Northern Tax Office. You can select your water board assessment and proceed with submitting your request. The municipal tax assessment will automatically be included when assessing your request for remission of payment.

Can I also submit a request for remission in writing?

You can obtain a paper application form for remission by calling the Noordelijk Belastingkantoor (Northern Tax Office) on telephone number 088-7879000. The form will then be sent to you within 14 working days.

I need help filling in the forms, where can I go?

I have received an energy allowance, will this be taken into account?

The disbursed energy allowance of a maximum of €1,300 is not regarded as income or included as assets in the calculation of the debt relief. In short, the disbursed amount (which we consider a specific-purpose allowance) has no influence on the calculation of the debt relief.

Information about additional asset exemption

Starting with the 2023 municipal tax assessment, in addition to the standard asset exemption, we will apply an extra asset exemption. This extra asset exemption amounts to €2,000 for married couples or 2 partners, €1,800 for a single parent, and €1,500 for a single person.

This extra tax-free allowance is in addition to the standard tax-free allowance.
