Overview

  • The new household waste tax is tiered by number of registered residents, with brackets for single-occupant homes and for households of 2–3, 4–5 or 6-plus residents.
  • This structure replaces the uniform 111.58-euro rate that applied to every household in 2024.
  • Commercial tariffs have been reordered by premises surface area and type of activity to align charges with actual waste generation.
  • Businesses identified as large waste generators face particularly steep fee hikes under the updated scale.
  • The revised tax framework takes effect in 2025.
