Postponement introduction of new procedure for foreign VAT refunds

Is your business established outside the EU? The procedure for claiming a refund of Dutch VAT is changing. Because of a change in the VAT IT system, the way you submit and track your refund application will also change.

The new procedure will not start as originally planned. Until the new procedure starts, you can continue to use the current one.

Why are we postponing the new procedure?

We need more time to prepare the new procedure carefully. More technical work is needed before it can be launched. This means the new procedure cannot start as planned.

What does this mean for you?

If you use this scheme, nothing will change for now. You can continue to use the current procedure until the new procedure starts. You don’t have to do anything at the moment.

Are you established in another EU country? Then nothing will change for you. If you want to claim a refund of Dutch VAT, submit your refund application to the tax authority in the EU country where your business is established.

More information

We will publish more information about the new procedure and the new start date as soon as it is available. You will find it on this website.
