Home Outsourcing your VAT return
Outsourcing your VAT return
You send us what you have and we do the rest. A one-off return costs EUR 175. If you want to hand over everything, that is possible from EUR 89 a month.
What it costs
A one-off VAT return costs EUR 175. Processing your records for that period is included. Thirty receipts or three hundred: the price stays the same.
Would you like your accounting and returns taken care of throughout the year? From EUR 89 a month we do your records, every VAT return of the year, the EC Sales List and your income tax return.
All amounts exclude VAT. As a business you get that VAT back.
Only need a return now and then? See our one-off VAT return service.
What you send in
You upload your receipts in the secure client portal, or you email them. Photos of receipts, PDFs of invoices or a bank export: send it as you receive it. You do not need accounting software.
Sending it in once a quarter is enough. If something is missing, you hear from us well before the deadline.
What often goes wrong when you do it yourself
The mistakes we see most are small, but they can carry on for years:
- A rate once copied from an old quote and never checked again
- VAT on food and drink in restaurants and bars that was deducted when that is not allowed
- Private use of the car missing from the last return of the year
- A reverse charge that no longer applies because the customer moved
- An EC Sales List that does not match box 3b, which puts the zero rate at risk
Watch the deadline too. The return and the payment must both be in within one month after the period ends. These are two separate obligations, each with its own penalty. Filing late costs EUR 82, and EUR 165 if it keeps happening.

When it pays for itself
Work out how many hours a quarter you spend on VAT, and what your own hourly rate is. For most business owners that comes to more than EUR 175.
Then add the time you spend wondering whether it is right. If you find a mistake later, a correction up to EUR 1,000 can go in your next return. If it is more, you file a separate correction and pay interest.
Frequently asked questions
Do I get a quote before you start?
Yes. Tell us briefly where you stand and you get an answer within one working day, with a fixed price. You know what it costs before we start.
What is an EC Sales List (ICP return)?
In the EC Sales List you report, per customer, the goods and services you supplied without Dutch VAT to businesses in other EU countries. The total must match box 3b of your VAT return. The Dutch tax authorities do not remind you: it is due by the last day of the month after the period.
Do you also file VAT returns for a BV?
Yes. Our Dutch BV (private limited company) package at EUR 150 a month includes every VAT return, the EC Sales List where needed, corporate income tax and the annual accounts. A one-off VAT return for a BV is also EUR 175 per period.
