Why The People of Rotterdam Pay Taxes

The Other day, I was thinking about why the people of Rotterdam pay a lot of taxes. I found myself reading the website of Rotterdam. On the post of Taxes in Rotterdam, they were saying that the City of Rotterdam needs money.

Rates taxes and duties

Why do you actually pay taxes to the municipality?

Money is needed to keep the city liveable and safe.

For this, Rotterdam uses, among other things, the proceeds of municipal taxes, such as the Property Tax (OZB).

The proceeds of this will be used to improve all kinds of public facilities and for safety. 

Also to make living more pleasant and to promote economic growth. Therefore, paying taxes is only reasonable.

Everyday, I see how the revenue that is being generated from taxes helps the City of Rotterdam. Keeping the people of Rotterdam safe and secure. Security is one of the reasons why I love the City of Rotterdam
