Additional information

It is possible that you may receive automatic remission of your municipal taxes. Ask the municipality if you qualify for this. As long as your income does not change, you will not have to pay taxes in subsequent years. And you do not have to apply for relief every year.

If you have temporarily insufficient funds and do not qualify for remission, you can check with the municipality to see if a payment plan is possible.
