Quarterly Dutch VAT return prepared from your bookkeeping and submitted directly via Digipoort. No DigiD, no portal logins, no copy-paste. All rubrieken (1a, 1b, 1e, 5b, 5g) are calculated automatically, a pre-flight check runs before submission, and ICP and reverse-charge are handled correctly.
Three channels exist for a Dutch BTW return: the Belastingdienst portal (which requires DigiD, a credential most non-Dutch residents do not have), an accountant who submits via SBR/Digipoort for a fee per filing, or the SBR/Digipoort channel directly with a PKIoverheid certificate. Taxmo files via the third channel, the same one accountants use.
Your return is built as a year-aware XBRL document (NT19 for 2025 returns, NT20 for 2026 returns), signed with the certificate and posted to the SBR endpoint at Logius. Within seconds the Belastingdienst returns a kenmerk: that reference is your filing proof. Corrections travel the same channel as a suppletie (message type OBSUP), mandatory above EUR 1,000 of difference and optional below.
More than 30 rules run over your data before the submit button does anything: missing entries that should have landed in the quarter, BTW rates that do not match the entry category, unvalidated EU VAT IDs on intracommunautaire prestaties, deltas with the prior quarter that look like a forgotten reversal, and the four-corner check between your VAT-on-sales total and your bookkeeping totals. Each rule that fires is a fixable thing, surfaced at the line level with a one-click fix, visible on the dashboard throughout the quarter.
One month after the end of each quarter: Q1 by April 30, Q2 by July 31, Q3 by October 31, Q4 by January 31. Filing late means penalties from the Belastingdienst.
No. Taxmo files via Digipoort with a PKIoverheid certificate, the same channel Dutch accountants use. You don't need DigiD.
Handled automatically. When you book a B2B sale to an EU customer with valid VAT ID, the entry routes to rubriek 3b and the customer goes into the ICP listing.
File a suppletie. Taxmo generates the year-aware XBRL under OBSUP and resubmits via Digipoort. Mandatory above EUR 1,000 difference, optional below.
If you had no business activity, you still need to file. Taxmo lets you submit a zero return in two clicks. Always file on time, even at zero, to avoid penalties.
Direct Digipoort filing is included from Starter (EUR 12.99/mo). Pro (EUR 22.99/mo) adds the ICP declaration, scenario planner, and team access. 25 entries/quarter free.
