A VAT timeline for new companies in the netherlands
When entering the Dutch market, understanding VAT is crucial. Contrary to common belief, VAT numbers aren't automatically issued to Dutch companies with non-national management, allowing flexibility in market entry.
If you're testing the market with initial campaigns, consider delaying VAT registration. Dutch BVs can operate without a VAT number for basic representative activities and non-VAT-taxable transactions. In such cases, use your Tax Identification Number (TIN) on invoices, noting that VAT is pending.
VAT returns are submitted quarterly and are relatively straightforward. eBranch offers resources for those confident in self-submitting returns.
Remember, if your sole purpose is obtaining a VAT number, your foreign company can directly apply for one.
Employing a Staff Member
Starting a business in the Netherlands is one thing, but managing staff and salary taxes is another challenge. However, you're not obligated to register as an employer immediately. You can focus on establishing your business without employment responsibilities initially.
If your primary goal is to register as an employer, consider an alternative: your foreign company can apply for a wage tax number directly. eBranch offers an efficient online process for this.
