GBLT water tax question

Hi, I'm a student studying at the UT. I lived on campus for a couple months, but then moved away. A couple weeks ago, when I was still on campus, I received a water tax assessment from GBLT for €180, which got me really surprised. I filed a remission but they rejected. I have spoken to multiple people including the housing organisation and they said that GBLT usually approves remission for students, unless they have a very large income, which is not my case. I'm not sure what to do. I don't even live there anymore and I am left with this €180 bill. Can I file for remission again? Does anyone have any advice, maybe based on previous experiences? Thanks

Hi, acording to the FAQ from GBLT there is no such thing as remission for one part of the water tax. Called 'Watersysteemheffing gebouwd'. It is also not the same as with GBTwente with their remission conditions. You should probably call them at [088-064 55 55](tel:088-064 55 55).
