Goal and impact
PURPOSE: By combining income data, vehicle data, financial information and household, determine whether we may automatically cancel municipal debts.
IMPACT: None. If remission is not granted automatically, citizens can apply for it through the regular route for the time being.
Considerations
There is an opt-in for citizens to automatically qualify for remission. Applications for remission remain possible through the regular route.
Human intervention
Citizens can always request a manual reassessment via Rotterdam.nl after automatic rejection of the remission.
Risk management
The biggest risk is in the use of reference dates; it is possible that reality has changed in the meantime. The figures used are transparent and people can object to them.
Legal basis
Municipalities Act; Collection Act; Collection Act Implementation Regulations; Co-government Tax Remission Regulations
Elaboration on impact assessments
This automation provides a balance between easing administrative burden and privacy, including by opt-in from citizens to actively sign up for automatic remission.

Technical design
Low-income residents can apply for remission of municipal taxes. They then pay only part of the waste disposal charges. If a citizen is unwilling or unable to reapply each year, he or she can apply for automatic remission. On the basis of income and assets data, among other things, the citizen's eligibility is then reviewed annually. If relief is not granted automatically, it can still be applied for manually.
