Frequently Asked Questions
A Dutch company's corporate income tax (VPB) return is generally due within a set period after the fiscal year end (commonly around 31 May for the prior calendar/fiscal year). The exact deadline depends on the company's specific fiscal year, so it should be confirmed per company.
A Dutch company files VAT (BTW) returns quarterly. Filing obligations begin as soon as the VAT number is activated — even with no turnover yet — and the VAT number is NOT activated automatically on incorporation (the tax office assigns an inspector to the VAT registration, typically within about 12 working days). Each quarterly return is due by the last day of the month following the quarter end: Q1 by 30 April, Q2 by 31 July, Q3 by 31 October, and Q4 by 31 January of the following year.
A company carrying on no actual business does not need to register for VAT, so no VAT returns or ongoing bookkeeping are required. However, every company registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce (KvK) — including dormant companies with no activity and no bank account — must still prepare year-end financial statements and file an annual corporate income tax return (VPB). Non-filing can result in serious fines.
Yes. In the Netherlands, the tax authority can deactivate a VAT number if no VAT filings are submitted for an extended period (including persistent zero/non-filing). To reactivate it, all outstanding overdue VAT returns for the missed periods must first be completed, after which an accountant contacts the tax office, confirms the company will now file correctly and actually trade, and specifies the reactivation date (backdated or a chosen future start). Accountant fees apply, and reactivation typically takes about 2-4 weeks.
For each reporting period (e.g. each quarter), collect: the bank statement(s), all cost (purchase) invoices showing VAT, and all sales invoices showing VAT.
A typical Netherlands tax-and-annual-return package covers the annual return filing, VAT (BTW) filing, eHerkenning, and a capped number of transaction records (e.g. up to 100). Note that opening a physical/branch bank account in Europe generally requires the client to attend in person, whereas an electronic account (e.g. Wise) can be opened remotely.
No. A Dutch wage tax number is not sold standalone, because once obtained the company must file payroll returns every month. It is bundled into a payroll/wage-tax filing service, available in two variants — employee payroll and shareholder/director payroll — which differ in price and scope, each already including the wage tax number application.
