Residents of the Municipality of Qeqertalik who have experienced delays in receiving their municipal bills for April and May will not be charged additional fees, the municipality has announced following several inquiries from dissatisfied residents.
Delayed municipal billing has caused concern among many residents of Qeqertalik Municipality, as bills for waste collection, daycare, and other recurring payments were not issued as usual in April and May.
The municipality now emphasizes that no fees will be charged in connection with the delayed invoices.
This includes payments for day and night waste collection, daycare centers, and other recurring municipal services, which many residents typically pay for through PBS.
The municipality also notes that it has received inquiries from residents who have expressed concern about being referred to the Collection Authority—even though they usually pay their bills on time.
Citizens may still be referred to debt collection
Under the current agreement between the Municipality of Qeqertalik and the Self-Government, any unpaid debt must be transferred to the Collection Authority if payment has not been recorded within 21 days of the due date.
This means that some taxpayers may find that outstanding amounts are collected through the Danish Tax Agency’s system, even though delays in billing have caused confusion.
However, the municipality emphasizes that, under the current circumstances, no late payment fees will be charged. At the same time, the Collection Authority will not charge fees for any payment reminders sent to residents.
