Sales Tax, VAT & GST Compliance in the Netherlands
We keep you compliant as you cross state lines and borders, before it becomes a problem. Delivered to Dutch GAAP (Title 9) for Dutch businesses, priced in 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.
A standalone, highly automatable compliance line: US economic-nexus monitoring and multi-state sales tax, UK/EU VAT returns, Australian BAS and GST, and UAE VAT. We track thresholds, prepare returns, and document input-tax recovery.
The deadlines we track against your ledger.
