Municipality of Rhenen: paying the sewage charge
Please note: you only have to pay rioolheffing (sewage charge) if you live in the Netherlands and are registered with a municipality.
If you are a user or owner of a building that is connected to the municipal sewerage system, you pay a sewerage charge. The owner of a property pays the owner's levy (RIOE). The user of a building pays the user levy (RIOG). If a property has more than one owner and/or user, the municipality will designate one of them as a taxpayer. In the case of private individuals, this is often the person who has been registered at the address for the longest time. In the case of co-ownership, the eldest or the person who uses the property is liable for tax. For companies, for example, data from the Chamber of Commerce is used.
The rate of the municipality of Rhenen can be found in the Verordening Rioolrechten. Check the website for the recent version.
