POLDER TAX

I suspect it is similar to city or provincial taxes. Polder taxes and Watering Board taxes are based on the location of the cadastral parcels within the boundaries of that board. They are essentially feudal administrations without democratic representation. Whether or not you have voting rights at the General Meeting of such an authority depends on the total area you own within the area of operation of that authority (the boundaries depend on the drainage areas of the watercourses they manage and therefore include parts of one or more cities) and only those who own sufficient area (usually large landowners, farmers, forest owners, public social welfare centers, or cities) therefore determines the amount of tax levied, whereas municipal or provincial taxes can be adjusted every six years through elections (in which every resident over the age of 16 who has been domiciled in Flanders for more than five years is eligible to vote).

1. First, you create a new supplier (a Belgian company, because every Polder Board or Watering Board, like every city or province, has a company number). If you do not know what that company number is, you can find it at the CBE, searching by name: https://kbopub.economie.fgov.be/kbopub/zoeknaamfonetischform.html?lang=nl).

2. A tax bill is not an invoice, so you will probably not receive it via Peppol. You can then scan the tax assessment notice or letter and upload it.

3. You can book it under the cost category Various costs & taxes.
