Commuter Tax
Do you have a private holiday home or mobile home on Texel available for your own use for more than 90 days per year? And is your primary residence (the address where you are registered) outside Texel? Then you are required to pay the commuter tax.
In addition, if you rent out your holiday home or mobile home to others, you must also pay tourist tax. You can read about this on the Tourist tax page.
In order to view your tax assessment or file an objection, you must sign in with the digital tax service. You need DigiD for this.
If you have a holiday home or second home, you have to pay 0,2847% of the WOZ value (the real estate value) per year. The minimum amount is € 582,00 and the maximum amount is € 1.810,00.
If you have a mobile home, you will pay € 522,00 per year for a fixed location.
If your home or mobile home is sold during the year, the costs will remain the same. Only if the home or mobile home was available to you for less than 90 days during the year, you will not have to pay commuter tax.
The commuter tax must be paid by anyone who does not reside on Texel but has a holiday home or mobile home available for themselves or their family on Texel for more than 90 days a year. It is not necessary to actually use the holiday accommodation for 90 days or more, but the accommodation must be available for use by you for at least 90 days.
You can read the rules in the Regulations for Levying and Collecting Commuter Tax 2024.
Do you also rent out your holiday accommodation or mobile home to others? Then you also have to pay tourist tax.
