Do I have to pay waste disposal tax?

Questioner

My contract states municipal taxes in the rent price but now I get from the municipality that I have to pay waste disposal tax. Is waste disposal tax a municipal tax?

Lawyer

Yes, waste disposal tax is indeed part of municipal taxes. It is a type of tax that every household in a municipality pays for the collection and processing of household waste. If your lease states that municipal taxes are part of the rent, that should in principle mean that your landlord pays these taxes. It could be that there is a misunderstanding with the municipality or with your landlord. I advise you to check your lease again and contact your landlord for clarification. It is wise to discuss your situation with a lawyer, as stated in your lease and the message from the municipality, to weigh up your options and take any further steps.---------------- Stichting Rechtswinkel.nl is a national organization with students and volunteers.
