Dutch VAT Return

When do you have to file a Dutch VAT Return?

After applying for a Dutch VAT number, you are obliged to file a periodic return for Dutch sales tax. In the Netherlands, the standard VAT return period is quarterly.

Monthly returns are only required if a company has to pay more than €15,000 in VAT (btw) per quarter. In addition, monthly returns may be required if a company is often late with VAT payments. Resident companies that are liable for less than €1,883 per year and have an intra-Community delivery and purchase value of less than €10,000 must file an annual declaration.

One Stop Shop VAT Application in the Netherlands

Since July 1, 2021, the threshold amounts for intra-EU distance sales per EU country have been abolished. In its place, a single threshold of €10,000,- has been established (applicable to all intra-EU distance sales of goods, along with the sale of digital services to consumers in the EU).

As soon as you exceed the threshold of €10,000, you charge the VAT rate of the EU country where your customer is located. Then you qualify for the One Stop Shop. You then make a VAT declaration to the Tax Authorities once a quarter. They then ensure that all VAT is distributed over the correct countries.

You can arrange your foreign VAT declaration in 2 ways:

1. You make a local VAT declaration per EU country in which you have sold.
2. You submit a One Stop Shop declaration to the Tax Authorities once a quarter. To do this, register your business for the ‘Union scheme‘ within the new system.
