Frequently Asked Questions
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.
In the weeks after incorporation the company will receive roughly 3 letters from the Chamber of Commerce (KvK) and several letters from the Tax Authorities regarding corporate tax and VAT registration; the Tax Authorities let the company know within 10 working days of the KvK registration whether it is a VAT entrepreneur. Shareholders should deposit their stated share capital (advisably within 2 weeks of opening the business bank account) and send the bank statement showing receipt so the notary can update the KvK registration, and the company must maintain its own shareholder register recording any capital changes.
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.
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.
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.
