  • VAT returns are filed properly,

Stop worrying about your administration!

Let expatax help your with your bookkeeping and tax obligations.

Automatic bank connection with your administration

Automatic bank connection

We can link your professional bank account with your administration. This way your administration will be up to date and you can follow your bank transactions in MyExpatax. You don’t have to provide bank statements as PDF or CSV to us which saves you time and prevents that bank statements are missing.

We can link bank accounts from Rabobank, ABN Amro, ING, Knab and bunq.

Import bank statements

Import bank statements from other banks

Bank statements from other banks can be imported manually in your administration by downloading so called MT940 files in your internet banking environment. This way we can also keep your bank transactions up to date but it is not as confortable as the automatic bank connection.

Legislation

Tax and social security

Freelancers and entrepreneurs have to pay turnover tax (VAT) and income tax. If you work as a freelancer and are considered to be self-employed, your client does not have to deduct wage tax from your freelance payments.

Every quarter a VAT return must be filed. VAT is very complex. We can help you with taking care of your VAT obligations.

Your freelance income is taxed with income tax. The income will have to be declared with your other income in the annual income tax return. Expatax will file this for you too as part of our Freelancer packages.

If you work as a freelancer and are considered to be self-employed, your client does not have to deduct social security premiums from your freelance payments. If you are not considered to be self-employed, your client does have to deduct social security premiums.

Deductible business expenses

Any expense which is ordinary and necessary for your trade or business is deductible. Not all expenses, however, are fully deductible. Some examples of fully deductible expenses are accounting fees, insurance, office rent, telephone and internet expenses. Examples of expenses that are only partially deductible are car expenses and dining with clients. Expatax can help you with which of your expenses are fully, partially or non-deductible.

Administration

If you are working as a freelancer you must keep an administration, file VAT returns and file the annual income tax return. This is not easy and can be very time consuming so let Expatax take care of it for you so that you can invest your valuable time into your profession instead.

Be sure to check our Knowledge Base for articles about working as a freelancer in the Netherlands.

Everything digital

You can easily hand over your administration to Expatax digitally. Your administration can stay up to date this way.

Self employed – Sole proprietorship – One man business – ZZP – Freelancer

These are all words to describe that you are working independently. But they all mean the same and have the same tax and bookkeeping consequences.
