Spanish term or phrase: tasa de alcantarillado
Hola, colegas

¿Alguien me puede decir cómo se denomina lo que habitualmente conocemos por 'impuesto del alcantarillado' o 'tasa del alcantarillado' en otros paises de habla inglesa?

Y si es posible, ¿el impuesto 'de la basura'?

Gracias a todos

sewerage charges
Explanation:
Yo estoy hablando del Reino Unido: el problema es que no hay ni tasa de alcantarillado ni impuesto de basura en Reino Unido. El 'council tax' - equivalente del IBI incluye a todo, y lo que pagas por el agua a las empresas privadas incluye el alcantarillado - la factura se titula 'water rates and sewerage charges' y tanto desglose como tenemos aqui en España con tantos detalles confusos no se ponen. El impuesto de basura puedes llamarlo 'rubbish tax' si quieres con un entre parentesis (local authority tax to pay for rubbish collection) explicando lo que es - es lo que hago yo cuando tengo que explicar las facturas a los ingleses que viven aqui!

neutral  AllegroTrans: Can't see why you need "system" in the phrase, it's superfluous and maybe confuses

agree  AllegroTrans: best to stick to "sewerage charges" unless you know for certain that these include some other service
