🇳🇱 Netherlands · Dutch GAAP (Title 9)

Accounting & CFO services for Netherlands businesses.

Dutch businesses answer to two authorities from one ledger: BTW and ICP for the Belastingdienst, and Title 9 annual accounts for the KvK. We keep your Exact Online books coded so both come off the same closed period. The Netherlands sits outside our published rate card, so the price comes back in writing within 24 hours.

Every service in Netherlands

What we deliver for Dutch businesses.

Thirteen services across three teams, each described for the Netherlands specifically rather than in general. Compliance is deliberately a separate team from bookkeeping, so liability and pricing stay clean.

Bookkeeping Team

Bookkeeping in Netherlands

Quoted in 24 hours · EUR

Dutch books serve two authorities from one ledger: the Belastingdienst for quarterly BTW, and the KvK for annual accounts due within twelve months of year end. Cross-border EU sales add ICP declarations on top. We keep Exact Online coded so the 21% and 9% rates, the reverse charge and intra-community supplies are separated at entry rather than untangled at quarter end.

Catch-Up Bookkeeping in Netherlands

Quoted in 24 hours · EUR

Dutch backlogs run on two clocks. The Belastingdienst wants quarterly BTW; the KvK wants annual accounts within twelve months of year end and within eight days of adoption. Late KvK filing is a directors' liability question, not only a penalty, so we rebuild Exact Online in period order, settle the BTW positions, and get the jaarrekening filed.

Accounting Cleanup in Netherlands

Quoted in 24 hours · EUR

Dutch files break on the reverse charge and on intra-community supplies. When 21% and 9% output, BTW verlegd and ICP-reportable sales collapse into one code, no quarter reconciles and the ICP listing disagrees with the return. We separate them in Exact Online, restate the BTW positions, and bring the accounts back to a Title 9 presentation the KvK filing can rest on.

Payroll in Netherlands

Quoted in 24 hours · EUR

Dutch payroll runs through the loonheffingen return, due by the last day of the month following the payroll period, covering wage tax and social contributions together. The 30% ruling for qualifying inbound employees has to be applied at source rather than corrected later. We run payroll in AFAS or Exact and reconcile the loonheffingen liability to the ledger before each return.

Controller in Netherlands

Quoted in 24 hours · EUR

A Dutch controller closes for two audiences: quarterly BTW and ICP for the Belastingdienst, and Title 9 annual accounts for the KvK. Cross-border EU trade is where the controls matter most, because reverse-charge errors stay invisible until the ICP listing disagrees with the return. We own the close in Exact Online and keep both reconciled to each other.

Virtual CFO in Netherlands

Quoted in 24 hours · EUR

Dutch CFO work starts with the vennootschapsbelasting position, due five months after year end — 1 June for a calendar year — with extension available but interest still running underneath it. A virtual CFO models the taxable result through the year, keeps the quarterly BTW cash cycle in the forecast, and produces board reporting that does not wait for the jaarrekening.

Tax Preparation in Netherlands

Quoted in 24 hours · EUR

The vennootschapsbelasting return is due five months after year end — 1 June for a calendar year — with an extension available on request. Separately, the jaarrekening has to reach the KvK within twelve months. We prepare both from one closed set of Title 9 accounts, reconcile the year's BTW returns, and clear the ICP position before anything is filed.

Sales Tax · VAT · GST in Netherlands

Quoted in 24 hours · EUR

BTW returns are quarterly for most Dutch businesses, due the last day of the month after the quarter, at 21% standard and 9% reduced. What catches EU sellers is the ICP listing: intra-community supplies have to agree to the return, and reverse-charge coding errors surface there first. We separate the treatments at entry rather than at quarter end.

White-Label Accounting in Netherlands

Quoted in 24 hours · EUR

Dutch accountantskantoren run two clocks from one ledger — quarterly BTW and a KvK filing that moves with every client's boekjaar. We work inside your Exact Online or Twinfield environment, reconcile BTW by rate and reverse charge, and structure draft accounts to Title 9 of Book 2 of the Burgerlijk Wetboek. Your kantoor keeps the filing and any statutory audit, which the Wet toezicht accountantsorganisaties reserves to a registeraccountant.

What this costs in practice

A worked example, in your currency.

An Amsterdam BV selling across the EU, 1,600 transactions a month, quarterly BTW.

In-house boekhouder (fully loaded, per month)

Salt bookkeeping + BTW and OSS
€ 1.750
Monthly saving
€ 3.150

Figures in EUR. OSS reporting for EU distance sales is quarterly and separate from the domestic BTW return.

What a Dutch finance hire costs you.

Priced per engagement

Netherlands sits outside the published rate card, so the price comes from the file rather than a tier — a written quote in EUR within 24 hours of us seeing it. The full card is published for the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Australia.

Built for the Dutch pain points we hear most: Quarterly BTW cadence · ICP / EU cross-border reporting · KvK statutory filing.

Standards and authorities

The framework your Netherlands accounts are held to.

We prepare to Dutch GAAP (RJ guidelines) or IFRS. These are the bodies that set that framework and the authorities you file with — linked so you can verify the standard rather than take our word for it.

Listed for reference. Salt Accounting Group is not stating membership, registration or affiliation with any of these organisations. Where a filing must be lodged by a registered local agent, it is — your agent keeps the lodgement and the professional sign-off.
