Remission of municipal and water authority taxes

The municipality will assess whether or not a business qualifies for remission based on their income, assets and expenditure. They will then decide whether you qualify for a remission. This only applies to taxes that are not related to your business or profession. It includes the following municipal taxes:

waste collection charge
sewerage charge
dog tax
property tax (owner's share in the house)

And these water board taxes:

water system charge
water pollution charge

As your income will be determined later on, you will first be granted a postponement of payment.
