VAT representation – Tax Services - Belastingadvies door Forward Fiscalisten

We take care of your VAT obligations in Europe

As an entrepreneur you always have to deal with VAT, even if you are exempt from VAT. Just think of the purchase of goods or services. What matters is that you meet VAT obligations as efficiently and effectively as possible. Whether this concerns the import or export of goods (inside or outside the European Union) or your administration and invoicing obligations. VAT representation (legally an option since 1992) allows companies to market their products in Europe without creating a permanent establishment in the countries of sales.

Benefits of VAT representation

The appointment of a VAT representative offers great benefits for companies established outside the Netherlands. By appointing a VAT representative, your company can use the Dutch import-VAT deferment license so your company does not have to finance the import-VAT due for goods imported from non-EU countries into the Netherlands. For companies established outside the EU, selling goods via internet to private individuals in the Netherlands, it is mandatory to appoint a VAT representative.

VAT position: profit and non-profit

We map the VAT position of both SME (+) companies and (mid-) corporates. We have also built up a solid track record within non-profit, with exempted entrepreneurs and organizations. For example, we support a considerable number of large healthcare institutions and educational institutions (see also our ‘healthcare’ team). Examples of areas for attention: the tax qualification of subsidies, how to purchase (expensive) goods or (e.g) real estate as taxfriendly as possible, VAT exemptions, right to VAT deduction, VAT scans.
