Administrative-law appeals in the Netherlands go to the bestuursrechter (the administrative-law section of the rechtbank) and are governed by a different statute from civil cases: art. 8:41 lid 2 of the Algemene wet bestuursrecht (Awb). The griffierechtThe mandatory court fee payable to the Dutch court registry (de griffie) to bring or proceed with a case, fixed by the Wet griffierechten burgerlijke zaken (and, for administrative appeals, the Algemene wet bestuursrecht). It is a flat banded amount that depends on the court, the value of the claim and the party type — a court cost, not a lawyer fee. The Netherlands has no statutory lawyer tariff.Glossary → here is a flat band that does not depend on any sum of money — administrative appeals contest a besluit (decision), not a monetary claim. The amount turns only on whether you are an individual, an organisation, or have a social-security / benefit matter that qualifies for the reduced rate: €200 for an individual (general), €54 for a verlaagd matter, €397 for an organisation. These figures bear no relation to the civil (Wgbz) indefinite-value fee. These are court fees only — the Netherlands has no statutory lawyer tariff.
Administrative appeal (bestuursrechtelijk beroep)
An appeal to the administrative court (beroep bij de bestuursrechter) against a decision of a public authority — tax, social security, immigration, permits and the like.
You file it after exhausting the authority’s internal objection stage (bezwaar), when you ask the court to review the decision.
State court fee — Awb art. 8:41 lid 2. A flat band by party type: €200 for a natural person (general, onderdeel b); €54 where the matter is a social-security / benefit case under the Regeling verlaagd griffierecht (onderdeel a); €397 for an organisation (onderdeel c). The fee does not vary with any claim value. The reduced rate is selected by a “social-security / benefit decision?” toggle (not yet surfaced; v1 reports the general €200).

A statutory appeal against an administrative decision — which, in the Dutch system, is also a beroep before the bestuursrechter and so attracts the same art. 8:41 fee.
You file it when a statute routes a challenge to a specific administrative decision through the administrative court.
State court fee — Awb art. 8:41 lid 2. The same flat band as an administrative appeal: €200 (natural person, general) / €54 (verlaagd) / €397 (organisation), with no claim-value dimension.

An appeal to a higher administrative court (Centrale Raad van Beroep, the Afdeling bestuursrechtspraak van de Raad van State, the College van Beroep voor het bedrijfsleven, or a court of appeal’s tax chamber) carries a separate, higher fee (art. 8:109). The Netherlands has no statutory lawyer tariff. See the methodology page for the encoding rules.
