How to use this overview
To assess your application for remission, we’ll look at your living situation.
Municipalities and water boards set their own standard amounts for living situations. That’s why there are differences. So make sure to check the municipality or water border you live in.
What is the cost-sharing standard?
Do you live with other adults? If so, we may apply the cost-sharing standard. This depends on your living situation. The cost-sharing standard assumes that you can share household expenses with others. For the purposes of assessing your application, it does not matter whether you actually do so.
These housemates do not count as cost-sharers
- young people up to age 27
- anyone who rents a room from you or is a boarder.
- students eligible for student financial aid or a tuition assistance grant
- students in a vocational training program (BBL students)

You do have to pay some taxes, but not others. Here’s how it works:
You do not have to pay the taxes for which you’re requesting an exemption as long as we’re processing your application. We call this a payment deferral. Do you pay by direct debit? If so, we’ll temporarily suspend the direct debit.
You must still pay the taxes for which you cannot apply for an exemption by the payment due date.
