The Belastingsamenwerking Gemeenten en Hoogheemraadschap Utrecht (BghU) is a collaboration in the field of taxes between municipalities Bunnik, De Bilt, Houten, Lopik, Nieuwegein, Utrecht, Utrechtse Heuvelrug, Zeist and Hoogheemraadschap De Stichtse Rijnlanden. On behalf of them, BghU levies and collects local taxes. BghU also assesses the value of properties located in these municipalities as part of the Wet waardering onroerende zaken (WOZ).
What types of taxes you have to pay depends on which municipality you live in and whether you own property. Below is a brief description of taxes you may find on your tax assessment. Tax rates may differ per municipality.
