Download brochureDutch accounting obligations at a glance
Every Dutch BV has filing obligations from day one. Here's an overview of what you're responsible for and when.
| Obligation | What's required | Deadline |
|---|---|---|
| Record keeping | Full financial records: invoices, bank movements, assets, and liabilities | Ongoing, retained for 7 years |
| VAT returns (BTW) | Filed with the Belastingdienst, even in nil-activity quarters | Quarterly for most companies |
| Annual accounts | Financial statements filed with the KvK | Within 12 months of fiscal year end |
| Corporate income tax (VPB) | Return filed on taxable profit. 19% up to €200,000 and 25.8% above | Due 1 June following the tax year, or later under an advisor extension |
Late filing can result in personal liability in specific cases. If the company goes bankrupt, it also counts as evidence of improper management.
That's why most foreign founders instruct our accountants in the Netherlands.
We provide tailored accounting support to all foreign founders. Our monthly administration services keep your business fully compliant year-round. Bookkeeping, VAT returns and annual accounts are prepared by the same team, so your figures stay consistent throughout the financial year.
