In plain language
- Public bodies in Brussels must provide a grace period of at least 14 days and limit recovery costs to between 20 and 75 euros.
- This applies to anyone who owes payments or fees to Brussels regional authorities, municipalities, or subsidised public services.
- You will first receive a reminder without extra charges, and if you acted in good faith, the authority can waive the additional fees.
