Goal and impact
Fees are actually compensations for municipal services. The rates are set by the municipal council and are stated in the Fees Regulation. In order to be able to levy fees, municipalities must specify base types and types of fees. Fees are calculated on a base. The base type determines where the base for the fee calculation must be found. The type of fee determines the calculation to arrive at the fee amount. Initiators (citizens and organisations) pay for the services of the municipality as specified in the fees regulation of each municipality.
Considerations
The bases and calculation must be in accordance with the applicable fees regulation.
Human intervention
Responsible and authorized employees manually approve all calculated fees before they can be invoiced. This is a human interaction that cannot be skipped. This action is also permanently recorded in the application. Initiators (citizens and organizations) have the right to object to the imposed fees or to appeal against a rejected objection.
Risk management
Because personal data is used to be able to impose the fees, the AVG applies. Unauthorised persons cannot access data due to the implemented information security. Security risks are controlled by the overall security set up on systems and connections. These meet the requirements. It is possible that the wrong basis is used or that the system setup is not up-to-date or correct. This can result in incorrect fees being imposed. Responsible and authorised employees manually approve all calculated fees before they can be invoiced. This is a human interaction that cannot be skipped. This action is also permanently recorded in the application. Initiators (citizens and organisations) have the right to object to the imposed fees or to appeal against a rejected objection.
Legal basis
Each municipality annually establishes the so-called fees regulation. This fees regulation states exactly how the fees must be calculated and what they are levied on.

Technical design
Fixed rate: With this calculation method, nothing is calculated. A basis type is therefore not applicable.
Percentage: With this calculation method, a percentage of the basis is calculated. This percentage can be positive (surcharge) or negative (discount).
Scales: With this calculation method, one calculation is performed, depending on the scale within which the basis falls. This calculation method is used when there are multiple calculation rules, of which only one can apply. If the basis lies between the minimum and the maximum, this scale is used. The basis is rounded off for the calculation. The factor and the basic amount can be both positive and negative.
Disks: With this calculation method, a calculation is performed for each disk, for that part of the basis that falls within the disk. This calculation method is used when a staggered calculation is required. If a part of the basis lies between the minimum and the maximum, that part of the basis is used for the calculation of this disk. The basis is rounded off for the calculation. The factor and the basic amount can be either positive or negative. After the calculation, the amount is rounded off. After rounding, it is checked whether the amount lies between the minimum and maximum amount. If the amount is higher than the maximum, the maximum is used. If the amount is between the minimum and the maximum, the amount is used. If the amount is lower than the minimum, the minimum is used.
