New in the Netherlands?

In the Netherlands, most entrepreneurs deal with VAT (BTW) and income tax. VAT returns are usually quarterly, while income tax is filed once a year. 

If your bookkeeping isn’t up to date, you risk fines and unnecessary stress.

To start your business, you need to register at the Chamber of Commerce (KvK).

After that, you’ll receive your VAT number from the tax authorities.

Choosing the right setup from the start can save you money later.

Many expats underestimate the importance of proper bookkeeping.

Common mistakes include:

• Missing deadlines
• Incorrect VAT filings
• Mixing private and business expenses

Getting this right from the start saves time, money and headaches.
