The sewage tax (rioolheffing) is charged to residents of the Netherlands every year. The tax is charged in regards to the location you are in on the 1st of January.<\/span><\/p>

The municipality spends the money to properly maintain its sewer system. They repair holes, vacuum wells and replace parts of the sewer. The costs for such maintenance are paid with the collected money from the sewerage levy.
