1 jan 2024: New environment law comes into force

Legislative tax change per 01-01-2024

These include laws and regulations on construction, environment, water, spatial planning and nature. For example, 26 laws will be wholly or partly merged into the Environment Act. In addition, a new digital system will be established (Digitaal Stelsel Omgevingswet), which will replace www.ruimtelijkeplannen.nl.

This will create a single digital counter for applying for permits and consulting the applicable rules per location. The licensing system for building will also be changed in the Environment Act.

There will be a cut in the 'spatial part' and the 'technical part'. In other words, two permits. The zoning plan, much consulted by estate agents, will pass into the environment plan.
