Filing a VAT return
If you must file a VAT return, we will generate an empty VAT return for you in the secure section of our website. This will usually be once a quarter. Return the digital tax return within 2 months after the end of the period. This also applies if you have not conducted any business in the Netherlands during that period and also if you are due refund of VAT. The 2 months period only applies to foreign companies. For companies established in the Netherlands a 1 month period applies.
Are you unable to submit the return yourself? Then you can choose to authorise someone to do this on your behalf . You can have your tax returns filed by a tax representative who represents your interests on your behalf.
Intra-Community acquisition
Have you paid VAT in connection with an intra-Community acquisition of goods in the Netherlands? Then you are required to report this in your Dutch VAT return under section 4b. You can deduct this VAT as input tax on the same tax return under section 5b.
