The water tax covers various aspects:
- Tax on the discharge of industrial water: this tax affects companies that discharge waste water as part of their industrial activity.
- Tax on the discharge of domestic waste water generated by individuals and groups when the water does not come from the public network. When the water comes from the public network, consumption for domestic use is subject to the true sanitation cost, which forms an integral part of the cost of water.
- Tax on pollutant loads generated by farming endeavours: this tax covers waste water generated by the livestock owned by the farmer and the pollutant loads generated by farming, based on the type of crop.
